Running out to the bookstore for a bit. Enjoy some Macy Gray while I'm gone, "I Try":

Plus, check Political Byline for some hot political blogging!

Plus, a few updates on the Oakland riots in case you missed 'em: "Obama Administration to Review Involuntary Manslaughter Conviction in Oscar Grant Shooting Trial"; "Violence is Not Justice!"; and "Communization."
