So now that the break is over, we'll be getting back to posting. I'll start by noting a few things worth checking out from Sunday. Ezra Klein has a nice op-ed on our society's appalling views regarding prison rape. Hilzoy has a post on the happily cold-hearted Phil Gramm, the man who's supposedly teaching John McCain about economics. And Publius has a bone-chilling quotation from one of McCain's foreign policy advisors. And McCain is supposedly the national security candidate? Scary.

I was talking to a couple of profs from the other campus about the election, and one of them said that he preferred Clinton because he was for national health care (he works in the health-related professions and is tired of seeing people not get the services they need) but that he was attracted to McCain's maverickness and his foreign policy abilities. I must have blanched because he said, "What? You don't agree?" I spent about two minutes in the hallway giving the quick sum up of why I thought McCain was the last one of the three I would want handling my foreign policy. He was like, wow, I had no idea... I'm really glad we bumped into each other. Scary.
