It’s a beautiful afternoon here on the Central Coast, and I’m ready to let politics go for a couple days. But as always, there are a few stories and opinionated glories left in the queue:
* I didn’t even feel the temptation to go after Peggy Noonan this week, because Charles Pierce–who calls her Our Lady of the Dolphins–took care of that chore quite abundantly.
* Sen. Elizabeth Warren walking the walk on the Senate Banking Committee.
* TNR’s Jonathan Cohn notes that headline of “universal pre-K” for Obama proposal may be misleading, since administration wants to let states experiment with different approaches to early childhood education.
* At Ten Miles Square, Sarah Binder sorts through the various definitional issues surrounding the Hagel filibuster (and that’s what it is!).
* At College Guide, Daniel Luzer argues that getting an undergraduate business degree is usually a bad idea.
And in non-political news:
* Damn, thought I had problems with the sometimes-perverse hi-fi in my head: a British woman reports she’s had “How Much Is That Doggie In the Window” stuck in her brain for three years. I mean, even if someone answered the question, there’s inflation to consider.
Sam Knight is in for Weekend Blogging tomorrow. As noted earlier, Monday is a federal holiday, so I’ll be blogging, but maybe not so early: a rare chance to watch all my favorite Sunday Night TV shows!
To end the week, here is the Godfather Of Soul once again, performing “Soul Power” in Kinshasa in 1974.
Selah.
