Nice article by Paul Krugman (beware you may have to sit through an ad for the 'Forsythe Saga') in the New York Times about the administration doing a bit of historical re-writing. The bad intel on Iraq will no doubt be a campaign issue this year (as well as the report by the 9-11 investigation group), so you can be sure they'll be spin-o-plenty going on between here and November 2nd.

Meanwhile over at Slate, Adam Kirsch takes a look at what Americans expect in Heaven. It brought to mind Daniel Pinkwater's THE AFTERLIFE DIET, a wonderful book about...well, just what you'd think from the title. :-)
