<p>In his Sunday column, Andrew <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/an-arugula-eating-surrender-monkey.html">assessed</a> Obama&#39;s first eight months of foreign policy. The neoconservative panic <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/tougher-than-they-thought.html">continued</a>, but some principled conservatives <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/yglesias-award-nominee-4.html">were willing</a> to cut the president some slack. And a few readers <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/dissent-of-the-day-7.html">dialed back</a> Andrew&#39;s optimism over Iran.</p>
<p>In other news, Bill Clinton finally <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/bill-clinton-explains-why-hes-now-for-marriage-equality.html">recanted</a> over marriage equality, more gruesome details <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/no-suicide.html">emerged</a> from Kentucky, and Glenn Beck <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/what-do-you-mean-by-white-culture-mr-beck.html">continued</a> to make a fool of himself.&#0160; We also took a look at the ethics of <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/the-ethics-of-photocropping.html">photo-cropping</a> Cheney, the laws of <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/illegal-photoshopping.html">Photoshopping</a> beauty, and the meaning of <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/best-of-wikipedia.html">mate plugging</a>.</p>
<p>The Dish also wrapped up the week-long debate over theodicy; read the last entries <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/theodicy-dissents.html">here</a>, <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/dissents-of-the-week.html">here</a>, and <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/theodicy-front-and-center-ctd-1.html">here</a>. </p>
