  1. The global warming witch hunt continues<\/a> – Expect, to the extent that they gain more governmental power this election, the climate-skeptic (Big Oil\/Coal-reliant) GOP to further harass and hinder this kind of critical research.<\/li>\n
  2. Robber Baron Redux: Financial Reform Edition<\/a> – “A full 90 members of Congress who voted to bailout Wall Street in 2008 failed to support financial reform reining in the banks that drove our economy off a cliff. But when you examine campaign contribution data, it’s really no surprise that these particular lawmakers voted to mortgage our economic future to Big Finance: This election cycle, they’ve raked in over $48.8 million from the financial establishment. Over the course of their Congressional careers, the figure swells to a massive $176.9 million.”<\/li>\n
  3. Commentary: What role for emotion?<\/a> – An interesting review of the emotional side of the Snyder v Phelps SCOTUS arguments, especially given the recent scorn from the Right during the Kagan \/ Sotomayor confirmation hearings about how awful “empathy” and “compassion” are for judges. Those two actually come off as less swayed by the emotional tenor of the case than ostensibly “balls and strikes” folks like Roberts, Alito, and Scalia.<\/li>\n
