As America Welcomes Jihadists With Open Arms...

Of course, it is too late for Tom Tancredo's presidential ambitions. And yes, he's a loon. But still, this advertisement he aired in Iowa repays watching. This sort of thing is terribly unpopular - and vulgar - in Washington, but there are plenty of people who will agree with the guts of what Tancredo has to say here. And not all of them are Republicans. [Thanks to Garance for the spot].

It's a reminder that the subject hacks and bloggers like best is, well, stories about hacks and bloggers. I daresay it's doing wonders for TNR's web traffic today. Which reminds me that this ability to see and measure what people are reading in real time is going to have an enormous impact on journalism in the future. I'm not sure people - readers and hacks alike - necessarily fully appreciate that yet.
