For my own convenience, here are three things I read this week, that I likely will want to look at again:

• Gary Wills' The Day the Enlightenment Went Out (requires free New York Times registration)
  
• Thomas Friedman's Two Nations Under God (requires free New York Times registration)
  
• Pineapple Girl's latest entry

I, too, am proud to be both a Democrat and a liberal.
