Poland sees reflections of its own history and steps up as best it can. Interesting claim, that even a sham election is good for something:
Despite the crackdown that followed, Polish officials don't think that was a naive or wasted exercise on their part. It gave politicians outside the regime a chance to make their cases to the public. It gave Belarusans a taste of what a democracy could be like.
It's not easy being the relative of a mass murderer.
The Root takes on the tiger mom.
Hertzberg's contribution to the debate on political rhetoric is well worth a read. Kathleen Parker's is as well, if only for the second half. Dana Milbank calls for a moratorium on Palin coverage so that we may, among other things, free up rhetorical space to debate actual issues on their actual merits. Charles Lane suggests that David Remnick rein in Sy Hersch. Meanwhile, Allison Silverman parses past speeches for rhetorical statements you didn't know were actually about The Jews.
