Pretty nicely witty & well-written.

I was going to suggest "Cotton comes to Haraam" as a title, but a bit too esoteric. [tangentially related to "Harem"]

Meanwhile, David Brooks has a good "values" scandal to follow up on - Republican legislator gives up 2 adopted daughters as "possessed" only to be sexually abused by his aide/their new foster father. I'm sure he'll be on this right away, just as soon as he finishes his columns on the sinnery of poor people not saving enough as caused by their lewd behavior and how irresponsible sick people are destroying America's health institutions by not going in for premium care.

Some times Charley Pierce

Ho hum - 1 ex-Wyoming Congressman / VP put himself in charge of secret foreign policy for 8 years. 1 leader from the Mideast puts himself in charge of our Congress. 1 Senator from Nebraska decides women won't get abortion services. A few bailed out execs on Wall Street got bonuses on the backs of millions of homeless people. How many unelected donors have instant access to government action, unlike the rest of us? If decisions ever even involved 500,000 people rather than 3 close buddies/collaborators, that'd be amazing. As it is, it's more like Tyson Chicken and Wal-Mart are doing this, not the citizens of the state of Arkansas - theyre unwitting victims like the rest of us.
