...Either way, this primary win means the Netroots now must be treated by Democratic leaders and politicians like the party?s other major power centers - pro-abortion rights groups, African-Americans and unions. There were signs before this race that the bloggers were already gaining respect. A bunch of presidential candidates showed up to the Daily Kos convention in June. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and other top party officials have met with MoveOn.org staffers to discuss strategy.

...RUINS SCOTT SMITH PLEASE, PLEASE let this be the most disturbing novel of the year. The Ruins is the tale of a bunch of American tourists on a boozy Mexican vacation that becomes a fever dream of grisly horror. Smith (A Simple Plan) writes with psychological acuity and real beauty, yet he doesn't pull punches. To be more specific would just waste good dramatic tension. But seriously, it's just awful what happens to these poor people...
