“Politics and Profits” — Latest posts from J. Stodder’s other blog- A Nation of CowardsI was reading Wall Street Journal reporter Paul Ingrassia’s latest piece about the never-ending bailouts of Detroit automakers.

- Peter Orszag Was A BloggerThe newly-announced director of the Office of Management and Budget, Peter Orszag, blogged while he was director of the Congressional Budget Office, I found out today. So, quick, before it’s scrubbed, go read it. Here is a link from the blog to Orszag’s slide presentation on climate change. He’s not a skeptic, but he doesn’t sugarc […]
