The Party of Yesterday

I was watching a West Wing Marathon and it was funny to see the issues they were dealing with in the series four years ago, and what’s being leveled against Obama. Bartlett is accused of being a socialist for wanting more kids to go to school. Racists are coming out in full-force because the president’s body man is black. Cold War is over, we won, but we are still worried about socialists. Hilarious. Then I read this Op-Ed. Nice way to keep looking back. Election 2008

MUSLIMS! MUSLIMS! specifically AMERICAN MUSLIMS! See this post by Ali Eteraz. I love his commentary on CAIR. I must say, I don’t know what worse, that he reads LGF, or that he’s giving space to mention CAIR. h/t Brian Technorati Tags: CAIR

The Cost of War

Haroon links to some goodness on Afghanistan. The Atlantic has an email from Afghanistan. Nick Kristof on building schools. The New Yorker on the individual cost of war for an Iraqi veteran. The New Yorker also had a moving photoessay on the cost of war. The photo below is from the series. It’s same photo Colin Powell mentioned in his Obama endorsement.
