1. PG's post a year or so ago about American vegetarianism being an exercize in faking it really stuck in my head (more on this later, perhaps), and now I'm wondering what she has to say about this development.
2. Contra Matt Yglesias, Ezra Klein sees the differences in the left and right political blogospheres as supporting different models of activism -- commmand and control on the right, grass-roots on the left. Meanwhile David Galbraith thinks both sides are worthless because there's no credible, responsible, non-activist middle (except, possibly, in MSM).
3. And Michael Kinsley has an unusual but surprisingly compelling reading of the press's reaction to demands by the Plame investigation. His view of civil disobeience may be a little naive, but it's hard to see a justification for it when the leak itself was illegal.
