OK, OK...a few more that I agree with from Hilzoy:
There's nothing as frustrating and encouraging at once about blogging than the fact that so often, folks just say it so much better than you ever would have.
NEWSFLASH!
Even though MoveOn.org pulled their 527 at Obama's demand, they have demands of their own: a filibuster of the FISA bill in the Senate, as promised. Hoo-boy.

...he's a politician. He's going to disappoint us. If I were one of those people who I suspect live mostly in the imaginations of columnists at the National Review -- the people who think Obama is the messiah, capable of making the lion lie down with the lamb, cooling the planet with the touch of his hand, bringing the dead back to life, and so on -- I suppose I'd have just dissolved in tears and sworn off politics for life. Luckily, I'm not. And at times like this, I just cast my mind back over previous Democratic nominees -- Kerry, Clinton, Dukakis -- and think: FISA compromise or no FISA compromise, he's still the best candidate I can remember.
Not that I wouldn't greatly have preferred the 'no FISA compromise' option. A lot.
