LRB Blog: 17 Friedman Units (FU) after he cheered the war in Iraq, Thomas Friedman is voicing his regrets.

Juanita Jean’s: Between 2008 and 2010, 30 large corporations spent more on lobbying than in federal taxes.

Christopher Duva: After we learned “you’re a mean one, Newt Gingrich,” it’s beginning to look a lot like Gingrich.

Fablog: Rick Perry may believe in God, but the polls suggest God doesn’t believe in Rick Perry.

Speaking of which, your quote of the day: “I'm getting more and more comfortable every day that this is what I've been called to do." (Rick Perry, July 2011)
