Friday and Its Discontents

So I may too busy this afternoon to finish the post I was working on. If your lips are dry, might I suggest some alternatives:
Sadly, No! on the rather astonishing AEI "debate" about whether Darwinism is "good for" conservatism. As the Rev. Bradrocket puts it:
No, chillens, you simply cannot make this shit up. The big brains at AEI are actually debating whether the linchpin of modern biology is compatible with their bizarro political views. Coming next week: “Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation: Does it Lend Credence to the Flat Tax?”
Hilzoy on extremely disturbing indications that our national media have absolutely no intention of doing their jobs during the coming election (don't read this if you can't handle getting very, very angry -- looking at you, Banner).
Right Wing Watch on the long conservative tradition of trying to disenfranchise Americans.
The Third Estate on awwwwwwwwww.....
And go look at the gorgeous pictures of Lisbon over at
Esthetic/Aesthetic.

Busy Writing Next Week's Material

This has been a light week at A&S, despite all the goings-on in the real world, and today's postings will have to be limited as well. We'll be back with a vengeance next week; meanwhile, here are a few things to keep you occupied:
The Third Estate reports on a smart next move for Democrats in the "partial-birth" abortion battle.
Undercover Blue's series on conservatives continues.
Progressive Historians features a debate on the right to bear arms in historical context - going back further than the American Constitution.
One of my favorite liberal writers, Harold Myerson, reflects on the patterns at work in the primary races:
"Democrats in conflict, Republicans in space."And if you haven't read it yet,
Phil Nugent has the final word on the Imus controversy. Yes, it's a great read even though you're sick of the whole thing already. (h/t
Crooked Timber).

Elsewhere...

I have no idea why comments aren't enabled on the post below. My theory is that is has something to do with the fact that Blogger Sux.
At any rate, hope you enjoy going back to the future. Light posting the rest of today. If dusty memories from the

Amazin' Avenue: You know what they say about a
bad dress rehearsal...
The Right's Field:
McCain gets clubbed.
Vernon Lee:
Comrade Romney vs. the Boston Herald (Also see
"Vernon Lee's Law," which has nothing to do with anything horrible happening to some kid named Vernon Lee).

lie behind the US attorney firings.
