Everyone’s Looking Forward to the Weekend Links
- Yes, Bloody Andy needs to be removed from the $20. Rosa Parks and Elizabeth Cady Stanton seem like excellent candidates to replace him. Alas, if done by a Republican Congress presumably the new bill would have Reagan on the front and John Calhoun on the back.
- “Reading the column is like listening to Dick Cheney mutter in his sleep.” I particularly enjoyed the assertion that the “forgotten part” of the Chamberlain story is the “peace in our time” comment. Similarly, what NOBODY REMEMBERS about Game 6 of the 1986 World Series is that Bill Buckner muffed a ground ball, leading to the winning run. And now you know the rest of the story.
- deglar watched some terrible pro-Confederate Civil War movies so you don’t have to. (Gods and Generals, I note as a connoisseur of aesthetic Stalinism, made Michael Medved’s 10 best list.)
- Krugman on Geithner.
- Definitely agree that the new Jenny Lewis is a welcome return to form from one of the best songwriters in this great land of ours.
- John Brennan really needs to resign.
