Timely

This site doesn't normally link to The New York Times because I figure you folks are literate, most of you have already been there, read that. But the cover essay/review in yesterday's Book Review by Michael Kinsley was exceptional. And I'm not a fan of Mr. Kinsley. But in writing about a clutch of political books bemoaning what is wrong with our current Republican dominance, the state of elections, the Democrats' dithering, Mr. Kinsley ducks through the usual crossfire to get to some basic fears about how this republic is running things, fears that go well beyond who wins tomorrow. He's also unafraid to re-visit the nasty question of how the 2000 election played out. Recommended.
