Grim

I have to agree with Roubini that job losses are probably going to continue for some time. I don't think our policymakers get this yet.

Quite happy to be wrong.

 
Misread

I don't like it when nobody could've predicted rhetoric starts emanating from our side either. But, seriously, if they really believe the stimulus was based on a too optimistic reading of the economy they should be pushing for more stimulus yesterday. It takes time, as Biden himself makes clear.

 
It's What We've Always Done, We'll Just Charge For It Now

That's my take on the Weymouth Post. Linking powerful people is something they've always done, one way or another, and it's long past time that they started to make a buck off of it.

 
Wanker of the Day

David Broder.

 
Fairfax

I haven't really spent any time in the area, but this article describes the tensions facing a lot of areas. There isn't anything wrong with quiet leafy suburbs, but many become overdeveloped and become overly dense with all the bad elements of density but none of the positive ones.

 
Sunday Bobbleheads

Meet the Press has Wimbledon.

Face the Nation has Mike Mullen and the Chucks Schumer and Grassley

This Week has Joe Biden.

Document the atrocities!

 
Dial-up rescue

For the record: If you live in England and you are frightened by scare stories about long wait times for medical care, you can always buy private insurance. You can even go to private doctors. (That's what "Harley Street" means.)

Saturday Night Thread

Gonna go on the roof and listen to some fireworks.

Psst!

I know I've already said this elsewhere, but I'm gonna say it again: I don't feel like defending "the public plan", which, as far as I can tell after looking at what's on offer, really offers nothing new.

But when someone claims they oppose healthcare reform because it is too expensive, there really is only one sensible response: "If you are worried about costs, why don't you support single-payer, which will save hundreds of billions of dollars?"

I'm going to a baseball game.

Go to a BBQ or something.

 
And She Helped McCain Win The Election And Then

Our elite press is so absurd.

 
Deep Thought

All lame duck politicians should resign today.

 
Zombie Companies

Too much debt hasn't been simply a problem for households, it's been a problem for large companies, too.

 
Morning thread

I wonder, if a link to Matt Taibbi's piece about how it's Goldman Sachs' fault falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

Conservatives like her, they really like her.

Because you won't STFU!

Sarah Palin's lunacy is good news for the GOP, and that's why they're celebrating.

MORE. Bill Kristol: winner! And myself, I'm going with Number Four.

EVEN MORE. Of course, for the real Palin funny, you need Erick the Son of Erick:

I’ve had this running thought all day, perhaps because I was watching it on TV in HD for the first time, that this is kind of like Ben Kenobi letting Darth Vader strike him down.


Yeah, kinda...

 
Deep Thought

Remember Alaska... America is now, more than ever, looking North to the Future. It'll be good.
