Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Tea Party governor of South Carolina approves massive pay raises for staff – One can argue that it’s worth spending money for the best talent in a new administration — but given the $1 bn shortfall in the state’s budget and the no-doubt-draconian austerity measures she’ll impose, it’s unseemly at the very least.
- Dear Sixteen-Year-Old Me – I’ve often been tempted to do something like this. Maybe I should get around to it.
- Fact-checking a non-existent CBO number – Make a note of this for future repeats by GOP talking heads.
- Attempted domestic terrorism suspected in Spokane: Steve Benen
- An eloquent case for filibuster reform – Yup.
- Stereoscopic Images – Miracles of the Imaging – Fun.
- US Patent Office Grants Massively More Patents Than Ever Before – “Simply approving more patents while giving less scrutiny to the patents in question” – yeah, what we want from the Patent Office is just a rubber stamp. What could possibly go wrong?
