Infernal Monologue

Some common sense about the election.

Slate Magazine is roughly on the same plane as public radio: it has in-depth stories with intellectual analysis, handles stories you might not have picked up in other places, and is staffed by a bunch of lefties (though it seems their audience is less one-sided). Their one regular cartoon is Doonesbury, which might give you an idea of its location on the political spectrum. Agree or not, however, Slate is always worth a read.

Today's worth-a-read article is this one by Paul Freedman analyzing the election returns, and puncturing the inital meme about the election results stemming from Darth Rove turning out the homophobe vote. You may think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not.
