Considering the nomination of Larry Summers for Chairman of the Federal Reserve Has Larry Summers had his "two bites" that Admiral Nimitz said "every dog deserves"? I would argue that he has and that he doesn't deserve any more. He should be rejected as Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

The return of austerity on the Democratic side of the aisle As they appear to have forgotten the whole point of Occupy Wall Street, that it's not the deficit, but inequality and unemployment that are America's primary problems, the austerity bug has been infecting some Democrats with its stinking, horribly awful, degenerative disease.

About bloody time, it is! Larry Summers fills his piece with "No $%#@ Sherlock" pearls of wisdom. Very welcome pearls, no doubt about that, but very long-overdue ones.

A Right-winger Looks at US Policy in the Mideast Right-wing columnist accuses President Obama of having a "checkered record" as Commander-in-Chief. On close examination, it's not at all clear that Obama has any such thing.

What will the next Congress look like? If, as many fear, the Republicans manage to take over one or both house of Congress? Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) indicates that he's been entirely happy with his strategy to block or at least delay, pretty much everything the Obama Administration has tried to do since January 2009.

We've Gotta Make a Stink about This The deficit scolds/the "Catfood Commission" is coming to Philadelphia June 26th. We call them that because they'd love to see our senior citizens reduced to eating catfood. Their goal is not to solve true economic problems, but to impoverish everyone who makes less than a quarter of a million a year.

How well is the traditional media doing its job? Is the traditional media too obsessed with Tiger Woods' romantic difficulties? Is the media paying so much attention to Woods that they're letting other priorities slide?
