(That caution proved prescient.) Some troubling rhetoric emerged from Netanyahu. Rahm watch here.
In Palin coverage, her political clout grew ever-stronger, the AP corrected her facts, Ambinder parsed her press strategy, readers pushed back against her bigotry on the Ground Zero mosque, Mark Liberman studied up on "refudiate," Doonesbury defended McGinniss, Andrew circled back to Weigel's Trig criticism, readers sounded off on the same, and another juxtaposed lil' Andrew and lil' Sarah. Lots of drama from Wasilla here.
More on the WaPo police-state series here and here. Hitchens unloaded on supporters of Mel Gibson and a reader dissented over his and Andrew's criticism. Cali cannabis coverage here and Social Security here.

E.D. Kain and Timothy Lee added to the liberaltarian thread.
Anti-capitalist art here and funny dog video here. MHB here, VFYW here, and FOTD here. The latest window winner here.
