Here’s a comprehensive round up of some of the more political goings on this past week. Notable stuff is some interesting speculation on Black’s comment about terrorist attacks helping McCain, Obama’s svelt playing of the race card to his advantage, and an obscenity case using Google Trends to prove that porn is not sub-culture, but it is, indeed, culture; our culture. For more on that read Warren Ellis’ first and newest novel, “Crooked Little Vein“. Good stuff.
