Glenn Reynolds on the Year In New Media and other Army of Davids-related stories from 2009.- James Lileks on Time magazine’s recent “Decade From Hell” cover story.
- Col. Austin Bay, co-author of A Quick and Dirty Guide To War on President Obama’s first year as Commander In Chief of the War On Terror. (Hint: Austin doesn’t give Mr. Obama a B+.)
