Late afternoon/early evening open thread

What's coming up on Sunday Kos ....

• Devilstower will look at the evolution of Mustangs, both the 4-legged variety and the 4-wheeled sort, and what the survival of both tells us about how processes of selection shape our world.
• Like it or not, early campaign fundraising is a barometer of who will make noise in 2010, and whose campaign will end not with a bang but a whimper. The mid-year numbers are in, and Steve Singiser will be offering some early surprises and disappointments.
• SusanG will review two novels: Kamila Shamsie's Burnt Shadows and Andrew Sean Geer's  The Story of a Marriage.
• Two weeks ago, Plutonium Page discussed President Obama's and President Medvedev's historic Moscow meeting in which they laid the groundwork for a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. This Sunday, she will examine how the right-wing reaction to the Moscow summit shows that Republicans have not evolved from a Reagan-era Cold War mindset.
