" So how are Comrades Pelosi, Reid, and Obama able to march ahead with their grand designs undeterred? One reason is that Republicans have done precious little to seize the moral high ground from them. By insisting on the removal of the public option—instead of the individual mandate—as the price of doing business, Republicans have missed a major opportunity to put Democrats on the defensive and change the terms of the debate." - Alex Scrivener

" Nick Balzano, president of the local Service Employees International Union, told Allentown City Council Tuesday that the union is considering filing a grievance against the city for allowing Anderson to clear a 1,000-foot walking and biking path at Kimmets Lock Park. "We'll be looking into the Cub Scout or Boy Scout who did the trails," Balzano told the council." - Alex Scrivener

"One of the biggest issues in this movement hit me yesterday in the PDC Keynote. Some developers of now successful start ups such as Icanhazcheeseburger and Seesmic. I have seen a lot of these cool products demoed, both here and at the New York tech meetup and they all have one thing in common. Their creators? Men. All dudes."

Why America Needs an Economic Strategy - BusinessWeek - http://www.businessweek.com/print...
"America's political system, especially as it has evolved in recent times, almost guarantees an absence of strategic thinking at the federal level." This is the most coherent part of the whole thing. "America is at its best when it recognizes problems and accepts collective responsibility for dealing with them. All Americans should hope that the next President and Congress rise to the challenge." They won't. Stop relying on them. - Alex Scrivener
