Among the positively provocative things I came across browsing around last night are Meryl's latest go-round with Aziz Poonawalla on the bikini-burqa thing (this isn't really a fair fight -- Aziz doesn't have even half a leg to stand on whereas Meryl has the benefit of two great ones) and Susanna Cornett's extremely sober analysis of the 'free speech vs. hate speech' issue raised by the upcoming Jew-bashing International Solidarity Conference at Rutgers University (thanks to Paul Jané for the heads-up on this one).
Susanna also has a wonderful post up about recipes for Snickerdoodles, which are near and dear to the taste buds of S., my one-and-only, and some sad news about the deteriorating condition of Canadian journalist Zahra Kazemi, who it appears may have suffered fatal injuries while in Iranian police custody and whose fate has been sadly neglected in the American press.
But I'll refrain from commenting on Susanna's Ronald Regan tribute. Hey, we can't agree on everything.
