+ How bad are the problems with electronic voting machines? Read this and you will realize that they are even worse that you think. Repeating myself: nothing is more fundamental to our system of government than the integrity of the vote. Nothing. So why are we behaving like this?
+ The case of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman (D) is perhaps the pre-eminent case of the corrupt politicization of the Dept. of Justice. Thanks in large part to the efforts of Gonazales and Rove, Siegelman was convicted and sent to prison for an action that wasn't an a crime. Says who? Says the federal appeals court that just released him.
+ If you were in my comparative public policy class last semester, you will want to read this.
+ This would be funny if it weren't so sad. The supposedly liberal New Republic is upset about the leftward tilt of MSNBC. The cause for alarm? Tucker Carlson, a true "post-partisan" in TNR's eyes, is being replaced by David Gregory, a White House reporter who "tormented" Bush. Who knew that when a member of the White House Press Corps asks the president hard questions he is automatically a member of the opposition party? Because yes, that really is all the evidence the article provides that Gregory is a liberal. [H/T: Ezra]
+ If I were 20 years younger, this would be the coolest thing I had ever seen.
+ McMegan has funny friends.
+ The new US cyber-security czar has no cyber-security experience. But I didn't need that article to tell me that. Because if he did have any real "cyber-security experience," he wouldn't take the job unless they changed the damn name. Cyber? What is this? 1995?
+ The Japanese are building origami spacecraft.
+ There is no cost for complexity. Advantage: Evolutionary biologists.
