Week in Review - September 17, 2011

Here are links to a few things you might have missed on the blog this week.

A sincere look at how 9/11 changed America (but not enough).

The start of political cannibalism season as Republican Presidential candidates begin to eat their own, how Democrats lost New York’s Weiner district (for the first time in almost a century), how Michele Bachmann lost her mind (for at least the third time this month), and why Congress better damn well play ball with the President’s proposed jobs bill.

From the world of not-really religion, my surprising (though not wholesale) defense of Pat Robertson, and a note about the Reverend Al Sharpton’s new gig at MSNBC.

From the shallow end of the pool, a must-see dog that balances a tower of 36 doggy biscuits on his nose (and resists the impulse to chomp them until instructed), a smoking orangutan who kicked the habit, and this week’s chart about graphs from McSweeney’s.

As always, thanks for reading!
