 Whoa! Anyone who missed Eric Lichtblau and Eric Lipton’s story on the continuing fallout from Senator John Ensign’s affair with a member of his campaign staff should go online and take another at Friday’s New York Times. If you thought this scandal had all blown over—just a “personal matter,” as the senator insisted—the reporters chronicle a series of special favors done for the husband of the senator’s lover that roped in (and corrupted) still more members of the Senate and their staffs, along with Ensign’s political supporters (perhaps now former supporters). Who says long-form journalism is dead? This is old-fashioned shoe-leather reporting at its best. Revelations about the bagman role of self-righteous Sen. Tom Coburn are particularly priceless. |

Don't be afraid to see Food, Inc., directed by Robert Kenner and starring Eric Schlosser, Michael Pollan, and a lot of cows, chickens, and pigs who have given their lives so that we may...thrive? Not as full of gory details as you might expect, it's instead a well conceived, well written, and well executed manifesto inciting us to change the way we eat. Much more subversive than Brüno, and good for you, too. |
