Richard Posner has a critique of public intellectuals who work in the public sphere (with special reference to Christina Romer), either in government service, or in journalistic fora. Mark Thoma and Brad Delong have already made clear the (many) points at which Mr

From the Republican Liberty Caucus of Colorado: I have not read the Health Care bill , but it appears that the doctor who wrote this letter below, DID! What he found is cause for extreme concern, and I would hope that you choose to tell your U.S. Senator or Representative that if they vote FOR this bill, you will not only vote AGAINST them, you will campaign FOR whoever is looking to take their place! PLEASE! Educate everyone you know, and send this to them so that all of us can flood our

Photo: A Barnet careworker at a salary cuts protest. The Tories are decimating local services, even as David Cameron claims he’s a great fan of local power : here’s more on local Tories who see the public spending squeeze as a justification to keep flogging public services off to the voracious private sector: Another windy night in the Tory borough of Barnet, and your reporter is snuggled in with the crowd at yet another Barnet council cabinet meeting, watching and listening as this

Compuserve shuts down BoingBoing After 30 years, Compuserve is finally, totally, mostly dead (the email addresses still work). I was always a local BBS and GEnie guy, but there’s no doubting the power and influence of Compuserve in introducing the idea of networked communications to a generation, and proving the business-case for commercial online activity: The original CompuServe service, first offered in 1979, was shut down this past week by its current owner, AOL. The service, whic

Obama has just finished his press conference as I write, and he’s [quietly, confidently] flexing his muscles; love it! When asked if McCain and the other Cold Warriors criticism had moved his position on Iran, he said, with a grin … what do you think? Love it, doubled.

The Hill: Democratic centrists are pressing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to set aside a flagging climate change bill to focus on what they think is a more achievable goal: overhauling the nation’s healthcare system.

Here’s an exchange he had with Greta Van Susteren on Fox News (via Glenn Thrush ): VAN SUSTEREN: Again, the whole business about the torture memos being released by the Obama administration — good idea or bad idea?

In Austin, Texas there is a bridge where over a million Mexican free-tail bats will congregate in the summer…and every summer evening, at dusk, tons of people will assemble to watch the bats fly from underneath the bridge in search of food…One summer I visited my brother who lived near Austin…and one night we got all liquored up and drove down to the bridge to see the bats…We thought it would be a good idea to go down there with tennis rackets, butterfly nets, and wearing football helmet

Give the employees of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune credit for creative thinking. They’ve launched a website intended to find a buyer for their newspaper that will not shut the doors as the Twin Cities’ biggest newspaper sinks in a sea of red ink. They also have a new business model in mind, too, one that would certainly set off screeches of class-warfare howling in the Strib’s editorial section if any other corporation tried it:“With the Star Tribune in bankruptcy, Minnesota?s largest news sou
