Top Billing! Dave Schuler – The Healthcare Reform We Need
I avoid blogging on most domestic issues. By contrast, Dave at The Glittering Eye has been doing a superlative job examining why “Health Care Reform” is a poorly conceived boondoggle ( in my view, as an issue, “Health Care Reform” is also a surefire political loser the moment your party is in power and is expected to actually do something beyond criticizing). Dave has other posts on the subject but I liked this one best.
Dan Drezner – Theory of International Politics and Zombies
I loved this post. It’s probably the most creative thing Drezner has ever written. Even better, it spawned the next post:
Greg Sanders – [Military] Doctrine and the Zombie Wars
In spirit, this post reminded me of the classic blogospheric parody of Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn analyzing The Lord of the Rings.
That’s it! ( Told you it was “Shorter”)

That "conversation" between Chomsky and Zinn provided much entertainment.
