Remember the recent story about the alleged copy of Obama's Kenyan birth certificate for sale on eBay ?

Yglesias : I will say that one thing I like about Washington is that relative to other major American metro areas, DC is relatively egalitarian in economic terms. The $172,200 that the top White House staff make is good money but it’s hardly enough to put you in the stratosphere of the American economic elite.

Listening To The Serious People by dday Mike Lux says what needs to be said about Tom Daschle's el foldo move against the public option, and it has weight because Lux worked for Daschle for many years. Caving to Republicans and the insurance industry in the name of getting "health reform" passed just won't work, particularly because you will lose every ally on the left and end up with absolutely...

In an interview with Ezra Klein , the former Majority Leader restates his support for a public option: You made headlines the other day for dismissing the need for a public plan. Want to talk a bit more on that? I don't know where that came from. We've been pushing back on that all day. I didn't say that. I have said emphatically I support a public plan. A Medicare-for-all public plan. Any federal...

Obama named his members for a presidential commission on fellowships. Among those "non-partisans" like Tom Brokaw and Tom Daschle is Obama's own sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng. Why not appoint Michelle Obama to a non-partisan inspector general position?
