It was such a wonderful day outside. I have no idea why I came back to my apartment and collapsed into an 1.5 hour nap.

Uganda's "kill the gays" bill is back, albeit it sounds like the execution part itself has been removed.
Adam Serwer comments on the President inviting Common to the White House.
In the burgeoning intra-Iran feud between Ayatollah Khameni and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Geneive Abdo explains why we should root for Khamenei. Recognizing the force of her arguments, nonetheless, I myself am rooting for injuries.
Anti-Shariah laws -- bad for religious liberty, hence, bad for the Jews.
Robert Farley on Chomsky the IR theorist.
Do my homework with me! Read Martha Nussbaum's critique of Judith Butler.

Monday Evening Roundup
Forgive me, I've been busy.
* * *
A host of leftist luminaries, including Noam Chomsky, have lent their imprimatur to a book which, among other things, effectively denies the 1994 Rwanda genocide. Well, let nobody accuse folks of singling out the Jews anymore, at least.
The internal IDF probe of the Gaza flotilla incident (distinct from the independent Terkel commission) has found mistakes in the operation, but fully sanctioned the use of force by the commandos. One of its observations was that there aren't really that many ways to stop a ship from going someplace without boarding it, and there aren't that many ways to board a ship whose crew is violently resisting without yourself using some violence.
Whoever wrote the screenplay for this World War II thing I keep seeing on the History Channel needs to find a new profession. I mean, sheesh.
It's not nice to kick folks while they're down, but Matt Yglesias I think is appropriately harsh to journalists just now discovering that John McCain is 95% hack. He didn't really change, you just weren't paying attention.
Switzerland refuses to extradite Roman Polanski, bowing to an international outcry that punishing a convicted child rapist is a gross injustice when the rapist is friends with important to people.
Adam Serwer has a good post on the Justice Department dropping voter intimidation charges against the New Black Panther Party.
The NAACP is considering a resolution condemning racism in the Tea Party movement.
