Walter Kirn's ode to Montana, which in November legalized medical marijuana, banned gay marriage, elected a Democratic legislature and governor, and helped keep George W. Bush in office. Montana is one of my favorite states to drive through, partly because of the unexpected.

Virginia is using statistics to base sentencing guidelines on the probability that an offender will offend again--say, because he is male (or single, or jobless... hey, wait a minute).

Nellie McKay sounds a little hyper.

The cover story is about Al Arabiya; I haven't read it yet.

I was really liking the Nellie McKay album for a while, now I don't listen to it as often, and there are a couple of songs (like the one where she seems to imply theat men are responsible for every problem on Earth) that I kind of tend to skip.

And I liked driving through Montana, too. I liked the scenery. Very big.

The album seemed to me impressive without being enjoyable. But I only listened to it once.
