Slow Blogging Ahead
I'm on a fairly harsh deadline this week, so posts may be slow and/or brief. I have a very interesting new assignment from my primary client, The Borg, in which I will be trying to identify 10-year trends in the direction of "information work" based on several possible political and economic scenarios. It's "brain-in-a-jar" work and is likely to command enough of my attention to preclude more discoursive posts. Once I'm through, however, I should have a few non-proprietary perspectives on the subject to share.
In the meantime, there's a bunch of good reading out there with the EA stamp of approval. Check out Ruy Teixeira's analysis of recent changes in public opinion over Iraq, Brad DeLong's invocation of political theorist Max Weber to analyze the dynamics of the occupation, and Cynthia Ozick's scary piece on resurgent anti-Semitism at the New York Observer. For comic relief, there's a wonderful red-faced rant over at OpinionJournal that, in a hysterical monument to historical misinterpretation, tries to pin the current problems with Islamic terrorism on Jimmy Carter! It's hard to top this one for shining light into the alternative universe that the Right lives in.
OK, talk amongst yourselves.
