With writing that beautiful, who needs a brassiere?

avedonGo read Avedon immediately for the best post on our current electoral plight: Nuanced, reflective, elegiac, funny, analytical, empathetic, and accurate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So not a "candidate diary."

Have I mentioned lately that Avedon is a goddess? No?

we love Avedon!

especially when she does longform, like this one. not to take anything away from the "quick links" posts, but when she sits down at the computer, cracks her knuckles, and starts a long one, there are very few better reads anywhere.

(and I have to admit to looking forward to the morning "Not Atrios" links, too.)

her fear of a similar result to Blair/UK 1997 is EXACTLY what worries me about Obama.

Blair/UK 1997

What you wrote. Amen.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
