Please accept my apologies for not being able to publish a Center of Attention for a couple of days.
First, I’d like to congratulate Libby Spencer: it’s her second bloggiversary.
Amba wonders whether Newt Gingrich is the Republican Gore.
A tribute to… Joe Gandelman. Awww.
John Cole on the news that Hicks has to serve nine months in custody: “I sure feel safer now that this terrifying menace is off the streets. Maybe they should charge him with jaywalking to up the sentence?”
Brad DeLong on why Americans should worry about trade (older, but interesting post).
Another older post, this one by Michael J. Totten – the blogosphere’s best original reporter – interviews two of “Iran’s revolutionary liberals”: Secretary General Abdullah Mohtadi and Political Bureau member Abu Baker Modarresi.
Dave Schuler on deadly pet food.
Dick Polman on the USA’s controversy: with friends like these… who needs democrats?
A post at QandO that’s sure to spark some passionate debate.
Lastly a question: Jon Swift, why haven’t you posted anything in a week?
