HOLY CRAP. Okay, peo­ple, if you place value on being a well-considered voter, you must do me and your­self a favor.

Grab a copy of today’s New York Times Mag­a­zine and read the Bush 43 biography/analysis piece “With­out a Doubt: Faith, Cer­tainty, and the Pres­i­dency of George W. Bush.”

That it is writ­ten by Ron Suskind will prob­a­bly make the Good Doc roll his eyes, but believe me, it is a thought­ful and well-considered piece of writ­ing. It’s worth a look no mat­ter who you plan to vote for.

Incredible.
