Random Column Sightings

Some really good columns out there today. Michael Kinsley takes on the notion that governers of smaller states (like, say, Vermont) are less qualified to be president than governers of larger states (like, say, inebriation). Krugman dissects the AARP’s decision to back the Rebublicans’ Medicare plan, and Cringely speculates on how Microsoft hopes to transcend its software roots to become the ubiquitous digital overmind that it always wanted to be.

Excellent point:

“There is no part of the country that cannot be portrayed, with some accuracy, as a sealed society out of touch with the rest of the country. In fact, attack geography depends on this very ignorance and disdain wherever it decrees the Real America to be in this election cycle.”
