Over on Slate, Jack Shafer has an article that says a lot of things I've been saying here about how our political discourse is in the hands of a lot of people who can only see the opposition's lies and never those of their side. I agree with most of what he says.
There's also this piece by Christopher Hitchens in which, having once savaged Mother Teresa, he now goes after the Ten Commandments. I think Hitchens just naturally leaps to the negative, arrogant side of every argument but in this piece, he makes some interesting points. I agree with some of it.
