I am working on a piece addressing Ronald Reagan's "contribution" to workplace safety and health. Stay tuned.
In the meantime, this piece by University of Michigan Professor Juan Cole should satisfy. If you're interested in what's really going on inside Iraq, you should read Cole's blog, Informed Comment:Thoughts on the Middle East, History,and Religion every day.
Thanks to Mary Miller for forwarding this.
Update: Also check out Nathan Newman here.
And there are a number of articles at Slate.
