• Halloween in the Time of Cholera
  Pre-1940s Halloween photographs. These costumes are so much better than "Sexy Mustard." (via The Morning News)


• The Books of the States
  Of course I couldn't resist weighing in on Ohio. (via Maud)


• Cracking Ohio's Political Code
  My old high school friend Sridhar Pappu is writing fantastic election commentary at The Washington Independent, much of it focusing on our old state.


• Mourning Old Media’s Decline
  I used to visit my grandparents on my way home from school. The Christian Science Monitor was always sitting on their front table; it was possibly the first newspaper I read with any regularity that didn't include funny pages.


• It's Nice That: CALLIE SHELL
  A photographer on the road with Obama. Also: I loved that he cleaned up after himself before leaving an ice cream shop in Wapello, Iowa. He didn’t have to.


• Where are the Renaissance Women?
  More bloggers should be writing intelligent, thoughtful, worthy things like this. Including me.


• NaBloPoMo
  *Sigh.* I guess... Though don't expect most of it to be thoughtful or worthy.
