Monday morning roundup

Jill Lepore's excellent analysis of the Tea Party in the context of the American Revolution and Founding Fathers whose values the Partiers purport to represent.

On a related note, commemorating Civil War history without descending into strategic revisionism will be a challenge for Virginia.

Have I mentioned I'm glad I don't live in Fredericksburg? Although as long as the police do their job, I don't care whose name they invoke in their prayers (the issue is whether police who don't appreciate those invocations can say the same).
