Politics: 

IS edition of sorts:

US President Obama's speech regarding air strikes in Syria to fight and destroy IS (which may be impossible any way, but particularly without ground troops), NYR on the question of whether Obama is authorized to send troops to Syria without going through Congress and the UN Security Council first, Jadaliyya on the history, strategy and objectives of the Islamic State, and Foreign Affairs on possible counter strategies.

Pop Culture: 

A new track by Grouper.

A great review of Kelly Reichardt's Night Moves.
