So much to talk about:<\/p>\n

  • More wisdom from Zakaria<\/a> on the panty bomber. I am continually depressed with how easily terrorists reduce the Right Wing to complete pants-shitting terror — or at least the pretense thereof for political gain.<\/li>\n
  • Five worst lawsuits<\/a> of 2009. The Holocaust one is my favorite.<\/li>\n
  • Coolness<\/a> from Betelgeuse.<\/li>\n
  • The myth that tax cuts massively increase federal revenues persists<\/a>. It’s the Laffer Curve, guys, not the Laffer Line.<\/li>\n
  • It seems really stupid<\/a> to close racial disparities in education by … canceling extra lab sessions.<\/li>\n
  • Yes, Ms. Franklin. It’s the label<\/a> that’s holding those kids back — not your party’s complete sellout to every lobbying group with a bill and a sack of money.<\/li>\n
  • The more I find out about the likely new senator from Mass, the less I like her<\/a>. As I have said — what’s the point in electing Democrats if they are even worse than Republicans on mindless law and order garbage?<\/li>\n
  • Obama was savaged for setting a soft deadline for leaving Afghanistan. But it looks like it may have had at least one<\/a> positive impact.<\/li>\n
  • I’m with Massie<\/a>. This “study” that says booze costs the average Scot 900 pounds a year smacks of a cost-without-benefit analysis designed to justify a tax hike.<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
