Two for the Bad Column

     Superfluous words and few facts are the real problem in The Age of the Superfluous Worker although there are definitely too many people needing jobs.

Three for the Good Column

     Great interview of the polling guru of the Iowa Caucuses for us polling junkies.

     I hate to agree with Reason.com at anytime but The Simpletons is dead on in their evaluation of the do something punditry.

     Not much meat but a good quick look at Gingrich's Brave Words on Immigration on his position which is pretty wonky.

Two For the Good Column

    As a stat geek I always like analysis like Democrats Have an Uphill climb to Retake House and Sean Trende is right up with Nate Silver in giving good stats for upcoming races. Also find a nice long article on JFK and the similarities between his and Obama's  presidencies.

The Hillary Moment is even stupider stuff from who else? The Wall Street Journal and their inept opinion department.  The New Age of Plenty is more proof the guys at the Financial Times don't now how to add.
