That's the problem. People inhale and exhale mentally, and right now, I'm exhaling. This means I get a lot of work done, but not a lot of reading. This, in turn, means more lists like this:

• Scott Adams ruminates on how power works.
• James Fallows examines threat inflation.
• Hugo Chávez is still dead.
• Bill Gates writes book reviews?
• American Airlines and USAirways won't expand O'Hare.
• Elizabeth Kolbert needs more sleep.

Lunchtime!
