Linking, not thinking

It's been kinda quiet here for the last few days. I'm sure that's concerning all 0 of you closely following developments on this blog. Well, the drought has ended...behold:

Paul Wells on the nature of news (more specifically, speculation reported as news).

Fred Reed on the decline of education and the new dark ages. (Thanks to Trudeaupia).

Finally, a review of "Team America: World Police" - the best synthesis of Trey Parker and Matt Stone Southpark zeitgeist with Thunderbirds-style marionettes you'll see this fall. (Thanks to Kate McMillan at the Shotgun).

Maybe I should have broken this up into three posts. You know, pad the stats a little?
