Here’s what’s caught my eye this morning:
- Blogs on blogs. Baseball Crank has a really fascinating post documenting Josh Marshall’s frequent (to say the least) posting on Plamegate and how badly wrong he got the story.
- Two contrasting posts on the Benedict XVI address. Dienekes of Dienekes’ Anthropology Blog wants authoritative testimony that Manuel Paleologos was wrong. Aziz Poonawalla of City of Brass summarizes Benedict’s address this way: Muslims are Orcs and Europe is Minas Tirith. Aziz’s post is really excellent. Check it out.
- Is Alzheimer’s a form of diabetes specific to the brain? That what an article reported on by FuturePundit seems to suggest . Here’s a newspaper article on the study.
- John Robb’s post this morning present a fairly simple equation:Â Pakistan – Musharraf = moves Pakistan from the Ally? column in the War on Terror to the Enemy column.
- I haven’t linked to the Carnival of the Dogs in a while.
- Bill Roggio notes that a leader of the 1920 Revolution Brigades group of Iraqi insurgents has been captured hard on the heels of the capture of a leader of Ansar al-Sunna. Consider that both of these insurgent leaders are Sunni Arabs. I wonder if the opposition to the insurgency announced by tribal leaders in Anbar province has anything to do with this.
That’s the lot.
