* For all you IJers out there, Infinite Summer has your David Foster Wallace humor minute.
* Hate crime protection for the homeless? Hate crimes are, in general, a very thorny legal issue, but in light of so much violence directed specifically at the homeless it makes sense to see them as a class in need of additional protection.
* Terminator 4 was so good they're going to make Terminator 5.
* Polling headline of the week: 'GOP's Rating with Latinos Falls to Margin of Error.'
* Rachel Maddow on the success of astroturfed right-wing protests since the Brooks Brothers riot in 2000. Via Cyn-C.
* And Eric Holder is still inching towards prosecution of the Bush administration, though in terms of scale and scope the proposed investigation remains far too cautious.
