If you're a Manhattan-ite, The Manhattan Users Guide is generally pretty dern good daily reading. Varied, informative and written with a sense of humor. Depending on the topic, some days I delete it after a glance, but most days I read from top to bottom.

This Talk of The Town article does a great job of illustrating how the White House is apparently, along with the rest of the workings of the world, just like High School. The cool kids do what they want, the not-cool-kids want to be cool therefore blindly following the cool kids, kids who are cool will do anything to stay cool, and the smart kids watch with continued amusement knowing that one day, all will be clear and everyone will see that the cool kids? Were idiots. Too bad in this case lives are at stake.
