Recommended reading while I'm away

I’m off to help with infant grandchildren for a couple of days.

Worthwhile reading:
1. Paul Krugman, The New York Times op-ed columnist: "Pundits Say Hil or Obama, But Edwards Is The Best Bet to Beat GOP."
2. Barnett Rubin, Afghan expert, "Afghanistan: Who's to Blame?"
3. Daily afternoon reading Monday through Friday, Dan Froomkin’s blog at the Washington Post, White House Watch.
