Filler: Tuesday night linkage

I am quite swamped with work, so I don’t have much time to write (or phone back, sorry). All I can offer tonight is linkage. Here are two great editorials from the Times:

- Gary Kasparov writes a very thoughtful criticism of Putin, and the Bush administration’s relationship with Russia.

- Paul Lukas of Uniwatch is a man who values the importance of socks. That’s right. Go read his letter, and you’ll know the real reason why I like Soriano so much.
