I get that Sarah Palin is playing the populist card against crony capitalism (hey, Rick Perry; hey, pretty much every Republican), but it's awfully obnoxious of her to Facebook her "Union Brothers and Sisters." If you buy this nonsense, I've got some Enron stock to sell you. (No, not really.)

Simply Left Behind: After a lost decade, there is still a great deal we can learn from 9/11. (And not all of it is bad.)

Kiko's House: Ten years after the 9/11 attacks, the greatest cover-up in U.S. history remains intact.

Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction. I'll be here all week.
