Monday link dump: Ben Stein's money

• Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are just so upset about these tea parties.
• Christine O'Donnell thinks homosexuality is "an identity disorder."
• Democrats looking OK in New York.
• Which anonymous source was right in his or her speculation about the Democrats' upcoming theoretical ad campaign?
• On Marty Peretz, the whiteness of the New Republic, and bigotry.
• Lindsey Graham admitted that Republicans will just blatantly exploit terror attacks for political gain, and no one cares.
• Ben Stein is still a disingenuous hack.
• Oy, there might be an American death squad in Afghanistan.
• Howard Fineman is going to join the internet! And Newsweek just bought itself Mickey Kaus. (Kaus, last year: "I used to work for [Jane] Harman and like her.")
