I'm so glad that the Times is deeply covering the problems with the Tea Party, because frankly, I sort of needed someone to spell out for me what exactly is going on and why. I was especially bothered with the article about how Iran could make fuel for an atom bomb in a year. That's slightly disturbing. I think that when definitive headlines like that are made, they bring some sort of urgency to the story. When officials say that within a year Iran could have a bomb, this interests people. This puts a time limit on it and makes it much more pressing of an issue than another article about how Iran could have access to nuclear materials. This puts this story in a whole new perspective.
