  1. Aaron Burr did it on purpose; Dick Cheney didn’t. No comparison.

  2. Any chance a lib has to take a swipe at Cheney they will do. Like the sun will always rise in the east. Does get tiresome after a while.

  6. The “Literature in Song” article has a glaring omission:

    The Cure’s “Killing an Arab” is a rift on “The Stranger” (L’Étranger) by Camus. And, they wrote and recorded it while in secondary school. Basing a popular song on an existential masterpiece is not bad for a bunch of teenagers. The evocative retitling of the tale probably helped.
