Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Op-Ed Columnist – Hey, Small Spender – NYTimes.com – “The answer to the second question — why there’s a widespread perception that government spending has surged, when it hasn’t — is that there has been a disinformation campaign from the right, based on the usual combination of fact-free assertions and cooked numbers. And this campaign has been effective in part because the Obama administration hasn’t offered an effective reply.”
- Richard Shelby, the Nobel committee is holding on line one – A minor embarrassment for the GOP, perhaps, but trivial compared to the overall scandalous obstruction nominees.
- everything is broken #17 and #24 – On the problems with the mortgage industry today, and why they will be with us a looooong time.
- Michael E. Mann – Get the anti-science bent out of politics – “Challenges to policy proposals for how to deal with this problem should be welcome — indeed, a good-faith debate is essential for wise public policymaking. But the attacks against the science must stop. They are not good-faith questioning of scientific research. They are anti-science.”
