The Plaid Adder's CRITIQUE OF THE WEEK

I am now writing a weekly column for Democratic Underground, which appears on Wednesdays. I'm also sporadically updating The War Journal, an online journal I began when the invasion of Iraq started. Thus, I am no longer posting Critiques of the Week here; but you are still welcome to visit the archived classic of your choice!
