Books At Home. I need more bookshelves.
- Diana Jou

The Obama family behind the scenes at the DNC. We now have a president-elect who makes fun of his daughter for listening to the Jonas Brothers. That’s musical taste we can believe in.
- Dylan Matthews

My French press has been a godsend this week.
- Lisha Arino

The Internet Food Association. My friends and I started a food blog which has some policy, a lot of recipes, and some other thoughts on food.
- Kay Steiger

Steven Meisel’s photography for the September Issue of Vogue Italia. Those Italians don’t do politics very well but they certainly know fashion.
- Saxon Baird

Old West Wing episodes. If you’re not in the right mood, they’ll seem like treacly left-wing porn. But when you’re in the right mood, they’ll make your eyes well up with patriotic fervor.
- Ned Resnikoff
