Thanksgiving nominations are up. JoshuaPundit focuses this week’s big foreign policy story – that Iran has enough material for a bomb – while my own post deals with how the incoming Obama team is more inclined to blame Israel for Middle East instability.
Turning to domestic issues and picking up a libertarian lens, The Provocateur continues his series on the corruption of past bailouts and the all-but-certain corruption of future ones and the Bookworm Room launches a defense of socially conservative candidates.
The media critiques the media on their Obama worship over at Soccer Dad, on their climate reporting over at Cheat Seeking Missiles, and on their understanding of Asian history over at The Glittering Eye. Don’t worry: the critiques aren’t really too harsh, with the possible exception of certain misgivings in certain quarters about Obama hagiography. The bloggers’ observations, on the other hand, tend to have a little more vitriol.
And wow has the self-esteem movement ruined generations of students – The Colossus of Rhodey has news from the front line.
