The Grant Surge	5.7.2010	The Atlantic - Matthew Ygblesias
Here’s some welcome news from Jonathan Bernstein who observes that a historiographical crusade near and dear to this blog’s heart is paying dividends: Grant was close to the bottom in the first three Siena polls (1982, 1990, 1994), beating out just three presidents each time. In the 2002 edition, he moved up the 35th (of [...]

McInnis vows to roll back Ritter's programs	5.7.2010	Vail Colorado: Editorials
DENVER - Scott McInnis says this year's gubernatorial election is all about Colorado jobs. To create them, he's promising to roll back Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter's state fees for individuals and to restore business tax exemptions. "Car fees should go to a vote of the people. Elimination of tax exemptions, I'd roll back every one of them. Freezing the mill levy - that's a tax increase that should have gone to the voters," McInnis said in an interview with The Associated Press. But first the former U.S. representative must defeat Dan Maes in the Aug. 10 GOP primary. Maes, an Evergreen businessman, edged McInnis at the GOP state assembly in May with the support of tea party activists wary of McInnis' Washington background. They claim ...

Midday open thread	5.7.2010	NewsTrust Yahoo Pipes Feed
With her Senate seat in jeopardy, the White House came to the aid of Blanche Lincoln. This was how she repaid the debt: Sen. Blanche Lincoln, one of the chief architects of the financial-regulation overhaul nearing completion in Congress, is pushing for a change that would benefit a bank in her home state of Arkansas. The bank, Arvest Bank Group Inc., of Bentonville, Ark., is predominantly owned by the Walton family, of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. fame, perhaps the most influential family in the state and one of the richest in the U.S. White House officials have said they don't want changes that benefit specific companies, leery of the horse-trading that nearly sank their health-care overhaul. But the administration also can't afford to ...

BP's Deepwater Oil Spill - What Research Reports were Saying - and Open Thread	4.7.2010	NewsTrust Yahoo Pipes Feed
Every area of science or of business has its own area of research, literature, presentations and conferences. Since people in the field tend to read the same literature, this defines the "group think" of the field--whether right or wrong. I can only barely scratch the surface of oil spill literature, but I thought I would point out a few things I found. On April 30, 2010, the US Congressional Research Service issued a report called Oil Spills in U.S. Coastal Waters: Background, Governance, and Issues for Congress . An important graph in the report is this one: The rather clear indication from Figure A-2 is that oil spills in US waters are pretty much going away. Even if the information was put together from other sources, this is what ...
Bonfires and illuminations	4.7.2010	PowerLine
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush. In 1994 the implementing regulations went into effect, requiring that all residential toilets be manufactured using a 1.6-gallons-per-flush standard. On the tenth anniversary of the regulations, American Standard made an important announcement: "today the worry-free 1.6-gallon toilet is becoming a reality." The busybodies of the administrative state have remained at hard at work. In December 2007, Congress enacted an energy bill that will, among many, many other things, force us to buy a new kind of light bulb. As Andrew Ferguson explained in "A nation of dim bulbs," environmental enthusiasts don't like the light bulbs we're using now. They reason, therefore, that ...

Reckless Self-Interest of the Fragrance Industry (Cached)	3.7.2010	Inc
People must be protected from exposure to fragrance ingredients that may cause cancer or fetal, hormonal or reproductive toxicity, the Cancer Prevention Coalition warned today. But federal agencies are not regulating these ingredients, leaving the public at risk due to the "recklessly irresponsible" behavior of the fragrance industry, says CPC Chairman Samuel S. Epstein, M.D. Click here to read this article

Supreme Court Rules for President in Separation of Powers Case	3.7.2010	Truthout - All Articles
Congress overstepped its authority when it sought to create an independent watchdog agency deliberately insulated from direct presidential control and political accountability. In a 5-to-4 decision announced on Monday, the US Supreme Court struck down a portion of the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which authorized the creation of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). read more

Drumbeat: July 3, 2010	3.7.2010	The Oil Drum
When Less Was More We tend to think of the decades immediately following World War II as a time of exuberance and growth, with soldiers returning home by the millions, going off to college on the G.I. Bill and lining up at the marriage bureaus. But when it came to their houses, it was a time of common sense and a belief that less truly could be more. During the Depression and the war, Americans had learned to live with less, and that restraint, in combination with the postwar confidence in the future, made small, efficient housing positively stylish. As we find ourselves in an era of diminishing resources, could “less” become “more” again? If so, the mid-20th-century building boom might provide some inspiration. WASHINGTON—The White ...

‘Bailout’ Baloney	3.7.2010	FactCheck
This campaign season, “bailout” is a dirty -- and often misused -- word. It's no longer being used just in reference to Wall Street banks and the rescue of the financial industry. Candidates, corporations and special interest groups increasingly use “bailout” even when no government financial assistance is being proposed. ...
