The commercial for “The Last Airbender” goes “The 3D event of the summer,” and I am going, “Wait what were the 1ST and 2D?” I guess it goes like: oil spill, financial reform, Last Airbender.

Weigel
I’m trying to get my head around this Dave Weigel thing. To catch you up if you understandably missed this story yesterday, here are some not-exactly-“objective” recaps/reactions (you might have to read them critically!): Salon, Village Voice, Vanity Fair.
