Wonkbook: Budget bill handicaps both FinReg and health reform; Census favors GOP states
Tuesday, December 21, 2010
Here’s the problem with funding 2011′s government using 2010′s budget: When the 2010 budget passed, neither financial regulation nor health-care reform had passed.

Friday, December 17, 2010
Article stolen from OutsideTheBeltway.comA bit of a double entendre during last night’s final Larry King Live: The guests did represent the wide spectrum of interviewees that the gravelly voiced King has faced across the table, or via split-screen hook-up, over a quarter-century (or, as he put it, “a third of my life”) on television – […]

Tax Dealing: From Both Sides Now
Thursday, December 9, 2010
Howard Gleckman presents the numbers in two ways: If you assume the Bush-era tax cuts were going to be extended anyway (what wonks like to call the current policy baseline), this deal is a sweet tax cut across the board.

Carville on Obama: If Hillary gave him one of her balls, they’d both have two
Thursday, November 18, 2010
Nuance. To cleanse the palate, blue-on-blue fun from this morning’s Christian Science Monitor breakfast. He’s used this line before, but I’m surprised he didn’t adapt it for Madam Speaker in honor of her big win yesterday.

Both In The US And In India, They See The Real Obama
Sunday, November 7, 2010
Mort Zuckerman writes that after 2 years, Americans got past the window-dressing and now see Obama for what he is: He came across as a young man in a grown-up’s game—impressive but not presidential.
