The Current Crisis

Most bloggers (myself included) don't have the inclination or the attention span to post more than a paragraph or so about world affairs -- at least not very often. And those few who do tend to need the services of a good editor.

And then there's Orrin Judd's blog, which has its share of short items, but also plenty of longer comments that place contemporary affairs in a much broader context. I don't know how he finds the time (not to mention the voracious reading habit that supplies so much of his context!), but it's just top-notch. That's why it's almost always the first place I go when I'm hitting non-primary sources on the web.

Orrin's lengthy post on the current crisis is one of his best ever. Go read.
