Thursday morning roundup

In a column that echoes Dave Brooks in the Conversation I posted yesterday, the question is, how does Israel keep falling into PR traps?

Collins on how South Carolina leads the nation in political sex scandals.

Lobbyist money will flow freely this election year.

Speaking of untouchable lobbies, where are the Tea Partiers and deficit hawks over the national embarrassment of exorbitant farm subsidies?

Carolyn fields a question from a wife determined to let her insecurities destroy her marriage. Those of you who saw "Reasons to Be Pretty" will especially appreciate this.

Wow the Isreal thing drew me in. I don't think Isreal has a choice in most of these matters. The arabic community wants to provoke them into a big fight. One thing they should do is always go in with cameras. I saw the film and as soon as Isreal's soldiers boarded the boat which is their right. They were beated with stick and attacked. One was tossed over the top deck to a lower deck 30 feet below. Is this how you delivery supplies? Isreal should film everything and release the film to every outlet.

Even then I think it would be ignored but they should try.

Great questions.
