4. Sigh. This NPR piece (All Things Considered) is basically stupid.

Looking for a legacy? Seriously? This is what NPR can find. [audio at link]

But part of the piece is good (criticism of AEI aside). Of course David Aaron Miller can be irritating too.

Secretary of State John Kerry has been diving into difficult issues ever since he took up the office at Foggy Bottom. He's managed tough negotiations with Afghan President Hamid Karzai over a future, limited role for U.S. troops there. He's re-launched Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, reached a deal with Russia to rid Syria of chemical weapons and is now making headway with Iran to roll back that country's nuclear program. This is a man clearly looking for legacy.
