Two For the Good Column

      Gail Collins is back on the good list, The Ghost of Boyfriends Past is a look at the once slowdown now a stoppage of Senate approval of Presidential appointies.
     Sean Trende with another good article, Unsustainable Debt, Unsustainable Gridlock has a lot of good research. although I don't agree with the conclusion.

Friday's Best Comic

All Bad Friday

     All I have to report today is bad stuff. Krugman at his laziest, a pure political hit piece on Romney. Kinsley at Bloomberg who can't decide if he is allowed to say what is really on his mind so bashes Obama Kansas speech instead. The Wall Street Journal back to it's usual self with a hit piece of Gingrich as the establishment has decided that Romney is the only acceptable candidate. Blech.

Workers Need More Income and More Power

    A good, concise look at wage differential, Workers Need More Income and More Power makes a number of good points. What I am wondering. is how this got snuck into the online version of the Wall Street Journal.

President's Speech

    The President's Speech itself was excellent and inspiring as we have come to expect from this President. The commentary about it was pretty much somewhere between partisan hamfisted praise ( EJ Dionne's Obama's New Square Deal) , moderate whining ( President Obama's Roosevelt Speech ) and conservative insistence that he still only wants to make the government bigger and more intrusive ( Obama's Rx: Bad News for Middle Class ). this cartoon was better commentary than anything else.
