Not very much

+ I like Howard Dean. I'd like to see him shake those Dems up a little. But calling 'Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki an "anti-Semite" for failing to denounce Hezbollah for its attacks against Israel' is going too far . (That's coming from someone who has been called 'anti-Semitic' before for being critical of Israel.)

+ Please, please, please let Floyd Landis be innocent...

+ I don't need another boardgame. I don't play the ones I have. If I did, I wouldn't have >50$ to drop on Viktory 2. That said, it sounds like a cool Settlers of Cataan-type game plus Naploleonic-age fighting in the vein of Civilization, but designed to take only 4 hours. And the story of his development of the game is really interesting.
