The previous post left such a bad taste in my mouth that I just had to post some links to good stuff right away.
- Theater of the Absurd at the T.S.A.
-
A good piece of commentary/analysis by Randall Stross, about the oxymoron that is the Transportation Security Agency. Kudos to the NY Times for not sticking this on the OpEd page; it's nice to see the fetish with balance suspended when something is as broken as the TSA.

- Dangerous Liaisons
-
Bruce Reed's latest Slate post, this time about Michael Chertoff and another oxymoron, the Department of Homeland Security. Reed's column/blog, "The Has-Been: Notes from the Political Sidelines," is always a pleasure to read, and this post is a textbook on scalpel-wielding.

- Doonesbury's War
-
I came across this article by following a link from the Doonesbury site. It's a feature on Garry Trudeau, written by Gene Weingarten and published in the WaPo this past October. If you know about GT's habit of shunning the spotlight, you know what a rarity this is. You may need to register (for free) to read the whole thing -- I'm not sure -- but the piece is well worth the momentary pain, if so.
