Stuff You Should Read

1. Pearce's Paradise, has a nice post, The Ceausescu Moment, about how he'd like to see George Bush face a real audience, rather than the requisite card-carrying, kool-aid drinking, blinders-wearing, Bush-fellating crowd that 'gets' to attend his speeches.

2. While I profess to be a "journo blogger wannabe on the left" who is throwing myself "prostrate before the tank treads of 'journalistic privilege'," Richard Cranium, who feels otherwise, has a good point here on the Valerie Plame dealy-bob.
