Pardon me while I break for some sustenance. Here are some readings in the meantime:
1. Matt Steinglass on the Newtown shooting.
2. Josh Marshall brings the history on the absurd notion that guns “protect our freedom.”
4. A great New York Times piece on how focus at the state level has paid off for the GOP.
5. It’s official, 2012 was the hottest year ever for the Lower 48.
6. Rogue geoengineering experiment seems to have worked, though knock-on effects have yet to be measured.
Back in a flash.
