Have a nice cup of randomness:
Post-Gadhafi Libya will be run as an Islamic state under Sharia law. Thanks a lot for that great foreign policy triumph, Obama.
This Islamsists also came out on top in the election in Tunisia. Maybe the Arab Spring version of democracy will turn out to be the same kind that came to Post-Colonial Africa in the 50s and 60s: One Man, One Vote, Once. Liberals were big cheerleaders then, too.
Mickey Kaus points out that propping up public sector employment is a lousy idea even in Keynesian. But it’s a great idea if you want to keep Democrats in power as part of an ever-expanding government, thus providing even more opportunities for graft and kickbacks, as well as back-scratching campaign contributions from public sector unions. Which is probably the real reason Matthew Yglesias is so gung-ho for the idea. Or, as Alpha commenter Peter Schaeffer notes below Yglesias’ original post: “This isn’t about stimulating the economy, but providing slop to the public sector trade unions that dominate the Democratic party.”
NPR host fired for overtly acting as a liberal mouthpiece rather than covertly. Which is why the host of All Things Dismembered stepped down because of her husband’s job with the Obama campaign. Maybe NPR staffers need a refresher on their “We all work for the Democratic Party, but here’s how to hide it” orientation course…
Why people are moving to the South: “Ask transplanted business owners and they’ll tell you they like investing in states where union bosses and trial lawyers don’t run the show, and where tax burdens are low. They also want a work force that is affordable and well-trained. And that doesn’t see them as the enemy.”
