Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

A brief excursion around the web
Serious security problems resulted in the Treasury Department providing some classified documents to former Secretary Paul O'Neill for a book that painted an unflattering picture of President Bush and the inner workings of his administration. That's not good.
There's an interesting story in Fortune about abrupt climate change.
At the WSJ, a column calling for an investigation of the UN's "Oil for Palaces" program.
NRO has a column explaining that the Bush/AWOL charge has been definitively answered. Meanwhile, the Man Without Qualities doesn't think Kerry's service record will give him much of a leg up on the national security issue (nor should it).
Michael Kinsley writes about the Democrats' search for an electable candidate:"I'm actually for Dennis Kucinich," a Democrat might say, "because I like his position on nationalizing all the churches. But I'm supporting Joe Lieberman. His views on nearly everything are repellent to me, and I think that's a good sign." The main attraction of that Kinsley piece is that it's filled with bons mots (I especially like the word "heathenry").
And, if you still have time -- this is by far the least timely link on this list -- I recently found a long but interesting piece on History's Greatest Monster.
