"First Few Desperate Hours" - Mountain Goats
Have to justify my existence at work today, but thought I would say a quick hello and mention that which had caught my eye.
-- This made me happy.
- And this made me laugh. And scoff. Whatever drugs Newt Gingrich is taking must be really good.
- David Brooks is a fucking joke -- and a bad fucking joke at that. (Actually the linked column by Jonathan Cohn is quite clever.)
- More appallingly accurate self-hatred from Yglesias. You'll never really make it in this town kid if you don't acknowledge that Israel is the linchpin of all good things -- not to mention the deeply-hoped-for fiery ending of the world.
- The most compelling argument for a 50% marginal tax rate I have heard to date.
Alright, must get back to it. It's your turn now.
