Thanks to Zeldman, this is the coolest blog design I've seen in a long while. I almost said "postmodern", but I held off, kinda.

CNN: White House reveals Enron contacts. Wow, only took them a month since the bankruptcy declaration to reveal what should have been revealed 8 months ago as a matter of course. Got to love that rapid response! (Most interesting fact: the last meeting was Oct. 10.)

Christopher Hitchens: Johnnie Walker Blackened. Normally, I think Hitchens is an ass, but I can't argue with this: "Given a choice between protecting American civilians and protecting the client regimes that sponsor and coddle those who murder them, the Bush Administration has taken the second option every time. This seems to me impeachable in the profoundest sense of the term."

Paul Krugman: The Quiet Man. "The Bush administration…operates on the principle that Mr. Bush is infallible. Whatever policies he may have proposed in the past, his aides always insist that they are perfectly suited to the present — indeed, were devised with the present situation in mind. It's actually quite funny, though nobody dares say so." A corollary of the thesis that Bush's answer to everything is the same: a tax cut solves.
