Ezra Klein / American Prospect:
O'HANLON'S BACK.  —  I don't really know enough about Iraq to adjudicate a debate between Spencer Ackerman and Michael O'Hanlon.  But it certainly seems to me that the New York Times shouldn't simply be reprinting O'Hanlon's “benchmarks” without giving readers some way to evaluate whether they're worth listening to.

2 Clinton Backers Offer a Way to Stage New Primaries  —  Two of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's biggest supporters, who are also two of the Democratic Party's most successful fund-raisers, have offered to help raise millions of dollars to stage new primaries in Florida and Michigan.

Guitar Heros  —  Guitar Heroes … Men crept in darkness to plant a bomb.  They moved in an area where last year I was helping to collect fallen American soldiers from the battlefield.  —  Terrorists.  The ones who murder children in front of their parents.  The ones who take drugs and rape women and boys.

Robert D. Novak / Washington Post:
GOP Pork, Imperiled By McCain  —  The congressional Republican establishment, with its charade of pretending to crack down on budget earmarks while in fact preserving its addiction to pork, faces embarrassment this week when the Democratic-designed budget is brought to the Senate floor.

Andrew Sullivan / Times of London:
The Clintons, a horror film that never ends  —  It's alive!  We thought it might be over but some of us never dared fully believe it.  Last week was like one of those moments in a horror movie when the worst terror recedes, the screen goes blank and then reopens on green fields or a lover's tender embrace.
Ezra Klein / American Prospect:
THE PROS AND CONS OF SINGLE PAYER.  —  I think I have the only blog on the internets where health policy posts get more comments than Iraq and O'Hanlon bashing.  Y'all are weird.  But I'm going to indulge you.  I went to a presentation this morning by Alan Enthoven, the godfather of managed competition …

Brad Schiller / Wall Street Journal:
The Inequality Myth  —  Class warfare is once again a campaign theme.  The Democratic candidates are railing against the “tax cuts for the rich,” lamenting the stagnation of middle-class incomes, and decrying the deepening woes of the poor.  In her January response to President Bush's State …
