Capital Weather Gang reporting on increased heat/humidity in the coming days. Won't bore you with the usual platitudes of staying hydrated, use sunscreen, etc. Instead, we turn our gaze north to Philly's Fox29, reporting on this novel technique to "beat the heat", sage advice we should all heed.

Key line in Robert Kagan's piece: “You would never know, as The New York Times churns out its usual policy-option thumb-suckers, that the United States is well down the road to dictatorship at home. That is the context in which a war with Iran will occur.” The hit on NYT is well placed.
