On...Grab Bag of Monday Stuff

Before we go camping I will just leave you with a few Monday morning articles that jumped to my attention.

Newsweek's David Ignatius speaks to Obama's Russian Reset Utopia

and last but not least
New York Times columnist Ross Douthat had a really good piece on the lesson of Sarah Palin.
