Crazy week around here. Committee hearings, travel, and hardwoods installed at the house so didn't get a chance to post anything. Pretty lame week anyway.
8.8 quake hits Chile. That's hundreds of times more pwerful than the quake that hit Haiti. We'll see a slew of articles over the next few weeks comapring the two, but we're about to see the difference between countries with infrastructure.
I think this initiative by the Obama administration is wrongheaded. First, it's a complete sop to organized labor which is apparenty not content with destroying California and Michigan. Second, I'll let Alex Tabarrok explain the objections. Short version: "long term consequences of creating a dual labor market in which insiders with government or government-connected jobs are highly paid and secure while outsiders face high unemployment rates, low wages and part-time work without a career path."
The Exile goes under. This is too bad. I discovered The Exile when I started reading The War Nerd column. If you ever get a chance just sit down on some weekend and read all of his columns. They are awesome. The War Nerd, Gary Brecher, writes about various conflicts all over the world and he has spent most of his life just studying war.
This article had me at "an iceberg about the size of Luxembourg".

Boozy ape sent to rehab. I would add more, but the headline pretty much tells you all you need to know since it is about a boozy ape (he also smokes) who gets sent to rehab.
Mark Cuban pwns Al Franken.
Obama Facebook updates. This is pretty funny.

'This worm was actually visible under the skin of my foot and would move at night. It became a game to find the worm in my foot each morning.'
Those photos of lions are amazing, but not as amazing as the above is horrible.
