That Puts Stacy And Me At +7, Right?

by Smitty Volokh reproduces a study in institutions and public confidence by the AP-National Constitution Center poll, showing that the extreme/no-confidence value for blogs is –39, but the military is +46. I guess we just sum those figures for this blog, since I’m in the military and Stacy’s the marquee blogger. Yeah, new math: yeah.

Peopleware Goes To Software

by Smitty Megan McArdle makes a point that I think I can clarify a bit: The jobs that are being automated are the stable, well-paying jobs where you could settle in and know exactly what you’d be doing for years.

Joe Miller Lives!

by Smitty Costa at NRO has an update: No longer in the national spotlight, Miller remains active in politics, speaking at tea-party rallies.

Looking Forward To GBTV

by Smitty Gabby Hoffman on Twitter tipped me to her Washington Times review of the Glenn Beck TV launch: Do you miss Glenn Beck, his chalkboard, and his Fox News show?
