The Reaction in Review (Sept.12, 2008)
A week's Reactions that deserve a second look:
Friday
By Michael J.W. Stickings: "Sullivan on Krystol on Palin" -- Stickings, with his Straussian beginnings, likes it when Andrew Sullivan calls Krazy Kristol's hand on (Doug Feith neocon) Sarah Palin.
By Michael J.W. Stickings: "Palin and the polls" -- Comparing state-by-state polls with nationals shows a much more nuanced picture of the race than the CW would lead us to believe.
By Capt. Fogg: "The secret Cindy" -- Tom Gosinski knew the truth about Cindy McCain's substance abuse, but it was supposed to be a secret.
Thursday
By Capt. Fogg: "9/11" -- On regaining a more appropriate perspective about the day and its implications.
By Carol Gee: "Seventh Anniversary -- 9/11/2001" -- Obama, McCain mark the solemn day together, U.N. tackles terrorism, Bin Laden not the mastermind?
By Michael J.W. Stickings: "Delusions of the way we were" -- The presidential election is turning into a referendum on the myth of America and all romanticization; HT to Joe Klein on Palin's myth that isn't real.
Wednesday
By Edward Copeland: "Nattering nabobs of nonsense" -- McCain campaign makes issue out of trivialities with partners in stupidity, cable news; they need to return to the role gatekeeper.
By Libby Spencer: "Meghan McCain on war and lipstick" -- Meghan says, "No one knows what war is like other than my family. Period!" (+2 videos).
By Carl: "When worlds collide" -- Thoughts on the Switzerland big success with a super-collider.
By J. Thomas Duffy: "Yeah... but was she a good tipper?" -- Per Diem Plus on Governor Palin; includes Per Diem Bonus Riffs.
Tuesday
By Michael J.W. Stickings: "Obama's fight: Taking on the lies and smears of McCain, Palin, and the GOP machine" -- We can all join Michael who says, "I do think Obama needs to fight back, and hard."
By Carol Gee: "Looking For the Light" -- Congress, though back in session, is preoccupied with the election and bipartisanship is needed.
Monday
By J. Thomas Duffy: "Elmera Gantry" -- Sarah Palin prayed for a pipeline, + bonus "Jesus, Bring The Pipeline" Riffs.
By Carl: "The MacGuffin" -- Alfred Hitchcock's "macguffin" is a pointless, useless piece that advanced the narrative but in the end had little to nothing to do with the actual movie; meet Sarah Palin.
By Creature: "Do not underestimate Sarah Palin" - A warning that "the Palin-McCain momentum may just snowball" brought some comments.

Thanks, Creature. I was glad to do it, Michael. It was a challenge to find the best form and to balance the selections. So I very much would welcome any and all feedback from you and others on how it can be made better.
