I'm becoming a bigger and bigger fan of Matt Taibbi's writing. Here's a blog post about who's to blame for the financial crisis. Here's a blog post about the moral dysfunctionality of the Sarah Palin family. I still think that if a Democratic candidate had an unwed mother as a daughter, all the Palin boosters would be out there arguing that that, in and of itself, disqualified the parent from elected office. (I don't think it should, by the way. I just think most of those who'd vote for Palin would so argue.)
