Open thread

I hit the ground running this morning and expect to be in perpetual motion until this evening.  I have thoughts percolating, but not the time to write them.

I do have a recommendation, though.  For my book group, I’m reading Eric Hoffer’s The True Believer, written in 1951, on the heels of WWII.  It’s about mass movements.  It became a resurgent best seller in the wake of 9/11, as people struggled to understand Al Qaeda.  Reading it in the wake of Obama’s election, though, it’s amazing how prescient Hoffer seems in spelling out the dynamics that propelled Obama into the White House.

I’m also going to try to get a hold of a copy of Mark Levin’s new book, which Drudge announces is a #1 hit on Amazon.  Yay!
