Thursday morning roundup

A more nuanced analysis of the future of Russian politics.

I'm posting to this review mostly because it's a very well-written review, but it makes some good points (and also misses some points). "Don’t send texts in a theater because the light disturbs your neighbors;" may be commonsensical, but I see the opposite enough that it can't be that commonsensical. The bottom line is, go with classic Carnegie and Post, not their families' pathetic attempts at keeping the empire alive. Better yet, in the latter case, go with Miss Manners.

I'm avoiding any easy broken penis jokes--you have the comments for that--but I can't resist linking to the post.

Gail Collins muses (and amuses).
