Justice is wrought
My brother's trusty Suburu Outback was stolen last week, from right outside his house.
Seeing as how he doesn't drive it on a regular basis, he didn't have any insurance on it. Not cool.
Fortunately, it was recovered today, along with the thieving bastard inside.
I would like to address said bastard:

Check it
My brother's usually-dormant blog has had a flurry of political posts recently (notably his letter-to-the-editor of Seattle Weekly concerning their selling out over the Monorail project).
His active citizenship is to be revered and replicated.
Read it, or you hate America.

Crassfire
Jon Stewart's live appearance on CNN's Crossfire last Friday was the most confrontational feat of media criticism I've ever seen. Other than the obvious jabs that left Begala and Carlson stammering, Stewart voiced what everyone working in my office has been preaching this entire campaign.

A tax, or attacks?
Yet another solid Op-Ed from the NYT (although I really need to start reading other papers):
According to Congressional Budget Office estimates, Mr. Bush's tax cuts, with their strong tilt toward the wealthy, are responsible for more than $270 billion of the 2004 budget deficit. Increased spending on homeland security accounts for only $20 billion.

Reunions
I had some high school reunions of sorts this weekend, when Harshita (taking a break from her Harvard MA in Religion) Greyhounded down to meet up with Clint and me for dinner and drinks in the East Village. The three of us staffed the muckracking, trailblazing Greenbrier Dispatch back in HS.
Also, I spoke to Vince--fellow track star and partner in crime--for the first time in over a year. I discovered he's here in Manhattan as well!, doing financial banking for JP Morgan. Looking forward to bending some laws with him soon.
