Endgame

Thanks to John Roberts, the white man can finally get a break in this country:

— Why models overestimate the cost of environmental legislation.

— It would actually be a third stimulus rather than a second (we had a small one under Bush) but John Judis is right that we need one.

— Coal-loving congressfolk from Dixie might want to check out what climate change is going to do to their farms.

— TPM Media is getting a lot bigger.

— Applying economic cost-benefit analysis to a global problem that disproportionately affects the poor leads to insane conclusions.

Apparently in Australia you can advertise hard liquor on television, with brotastic results; a US ban on TV beer ads would probably improve public health and also serve as an important stimulus to print media.
