Some links about the current situation
OK, I said earlier that there was too much stuff out there on the stupid debt-limit crisis (stupid because it doesn't HAVE to be a crisis!) to link to. But I have found a few pieces that particularly hit home with me. I shall post links with minimal commentary (because I have other stuff to do).
* Lessons from the U.S. Economy's Malaise (David Leonhardt's last piece on economics, as he is moving to another beat)
* One Way to Help the Jobless (though I'm not sure how much it will help)
* The Cult That Is Destroying America (not quite what you'd think)
* The Scorpion and the Frog (a pertinent fable)
* Are Progressives Losing the Larger Argument? (REALLY important to how I view this whole thing -- progressives are NOT being heard AT ALL.)
And, on a different subject, from Wired: Google+ Identity Crisis: What's at Stake with Real Names and Privacy.
