The departure a few weeks back of Team Obama's top legal eagle Greg Craig (whose name sounds like a Mad Men character, by the way), marked what was probably the highest profile parting-of-ways so far in this administration. Although much was left unsaid in the immediate aftermath of Craig's resignation, the behind-the-scenes story -- told here courtesy of Time -- gives us one of the clearer insights so far into how this president tries to tow the line between progress and pragmatism, perhaps to the detriment of both.

Still, with her memoir's release this week and the subsequent book tour drawing the moths to the flame, we're once again subjected to stories like this, with a seventeen year old Palinista (Palinaut?) called out by a reporter on the issues she's espousing, and in true maverick fashion, the teen blames the so-called liberal media for playing "gotcha." It'd be comical if it wasn't so

Tom Engelhardt lays out what the prez should say in regards to his still-percolating Afghanistan strategy, but because of either limitations of the establishment or of the self, probably won't.
