Jay Rosen (of PressThink, in the sidebar) has a long, thoughful rant on Ted Koppel and the yelling surrounding his enumeration of the 721 dead soldiers: "Political innocence is performed during controversies like this."

This space's childhood was full of Scrabble. I even presently work with a guy who (and I am not making this up) got his Ph. D. in Scrabble. But the lovely wife hates the game so I don't get to play much anymore, and instead must make do with this gallery of bad scrabble hands found via boingboing. Several of the hands aren't that bad, which diminishes the fun only somewhat.
