Katie Roiphe: My Newborn Is Like A Narcotic. "In the six weeks since my baby was born, I seem to have lost all
worldly ambition. I can think about September, when I am supposed to go
back to work, only with dread. I have a class to teach. I have to start
writing again. But the idea of talking about ideas in front of students
or typing a coherent sentence (i.e., my normal life) seems totally
implausible." And the writing is just great. 

I find the Pundit vs. Political Science rumble irritating. Some people need to deflate their heads a little. However, I liked this post of Henry's on this topic. I haven't read the Gelman and Sides Boston Review article yet, but plan to.
