Get your program, cant’ tell what’s going on without a program: 9750 Words on Elena Kagan
Rachel Maddow suggests this as the Must Read document for the impending confirmation process.
Constructive v. Destructive Criticism.

What I had for breakfast
As you may have noticed, I’ve been blogging less than usual these last few days. Usually, when that happens, you can expect one of my chatty “What I had for breakfast/lunch/dinner” posts, which serve as the blogger’s equivalent of the contact call of the black-capped chickadee.
