The Reaction in Review (Sept. 21, 2008)

A Week-end's Reactions that deserve a second look:

Sunday

By Capt. Fogg: "Pass it forward"-- Here's a great idea from . . . Huff-Po, suggesting that you make a donation to Planned Parenthood in Sarah Palin's name so they will send her a Thank You card (details in the post).

By Libby Spencer: "GOP defangs Pit Bull Palin debate" -- Republicans demanded concessions from the Veep Debate Committee, setting narrow parameters to make it easier for Palin to participate.

Saturday

By Michael J.W. Stickings: "Palin as Quayle (or, why Palin is nothing like Obama)" -- discussion of John Chait's article comparing and contrasing Dan Quayle, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden with Sarah Palin.

By Michael J.W. Stickings: "Ethnic cleansing and the Surge: What really explains the improved conditions in Iraq?" -- "The "surge" didn't quell the sectarian violence . . . if you kill a lot of people, and a lot of people leave, there won't be as many people left to kill."

By Creature: "John McCain's de-regulation paper trail" -- Here's John McCain in his own, de-regulation loving, words [via Krugman]: "open up health insurance market like banking," costing taxpayers billions.
