Really Close
I'm within a week of finishing my manuscript, so hey-o, here's a cop-out update featuring a graph and a song!
So Close!
I am pretty close to finishing a book, so updates are going to slow a bit. Not disappear-- just slow. Oh no!
To distract yourself, get lost in some Ha-Joon Chang talking about his totally cool book, 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism
Or wonder why Lindsay Lohan is tweeting about the Fed.
Or think about how Spike Lee can't get a movie financed, but The Help
has been turned into what looks like an amazingly insulting movie. Look at it! My god! I just keep watching and watching the trailer and it gets worse with each viewing.
Crazy, Scary, or Confused? Guess the Source!

“Liked” being used loosely.
In These Times | Apple Store Workers Share Why They Want to 'Work Different'
“Money shouldn’t be an issue when you’re employed at Apple.” Instead, managers said, the chance to work at Apple “should be looked at as an experience.”

An economist gets sad over Obama being a bad president.
The Transport Politic | Freight as Passenger Rail's Worst Enemy-- Or Something Else?
Clarifying some differences between American and European freight v. passenger rail. Yeeehaw!
ProPublica | In U.S. Monetary Policy, a Boon to Banks
Another one of the “we’re just along for the ride, overlords, we swear” kind of stories that are so prevalent now.
Or, at the very least, trap David Brooks and Tom Friedman in an impenetrable bubble.
And now, a multimedia extravaganza!
