Question left open by articles in the Washington Post and NYTimes occasioned by a book on the history of the Hershey chocolate company: why does Hershey chocolate taste like puke? I don't mean, what do they do to it to make taste like puke; I mean, why do they do it?

Saw an interview with Ignatieff on TV today. He claims blissful ignorance of how the campaign is going outside his riding. That, well, can't be entirely true--but he does seem genuinely into this little civics experiment, even if it means four years on the opposition back benches. So, good on 'im. (And then again, it's all grist for the book mill, eh?)

New York magazine has an interview with Bernard-Henri Lévi--apparently that series of Atlantic interviews is out as a book. Lévi, they say, has many mistresses, and he compares America to a mistress. Heavens, they still make 'em like that over there. America, he concludes, was a good fuck. Well. Good, then.
