'Delicious' feed acting up; Great Chazelle essay

The 'Delicious' feed to the blog sidebar is acting up and presenting some very old tags instead of the fresh ones with which I keep feeding it... I can't figure out why. Sometimes their software is a little unstable, I've noticed. (And it's unstable in other ways right now, too.)

Maybe the Pentagon, CIA etc are just having a fine old time rummaging through my Delicious tags? If so, guys, please could you put my whole Delicious account back into good order immediately.

Meantime, what I wanted to share with you was this, from Bernard Chazelle at Princeton. My "notes" there were:

    Elegant and searingly witty writing; rapier-sharp argumentation; super footnotes; photos and epigraphic captions to ground the whole essay. Take a bit of time to read this, to cry, and yes, to laugh. Or head straight for his skewering of the US MSM.
Thanks for sending it, Bernard.

And the rest of you, when you see his piece heading that Delicious portion of the sidebar, you can infer that the Delicious is behaving properly once again. Let's hope.

Magisterial and positively breathtaking.

Also very good, if not as sweeping in scope is Gideon Rachman’s column in today's FT: "Simplify, then exaggerate: the neo-cons' route to disaster"

Rachman's article is a nice attempt to disassociate the neocon agenda from the Zionist agenda. But who will be fooled?
