Weekend Chilling
(unknown author) via The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sul on Mon, 06 Oct. 2008
Shared by Shamus I'll second this recommendation from Sullivan. I Netflixed this about 6 weeks ago and it was fantastic.

The Denver team waited 75 seconds, reasoning that no heart is known to have self-restarted after 60 seconds. That's pretty dicey readmore

Is Bin Laden's Strategy Working?
Andrew Sullivan via The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sul on Mon, 06 Oct. 2008
A reader writes:Last night on Bill Maher, the comedian Gary Shandling, of all people, synthesized the connection between our current economic crisis and 9/11 and the Iraq War in a way I have not heard:  On 9/11, Al Qaeda had no expectation of a traditional military victory against the United States.  The point of the attack was economic -- to draw the U.S. into exp readmore
