Random Notes of the Weekend...and beyond

  1. I love Kellie Pickler, but I cannot watch I Love Kellie Pickler. Parallels to Buck Owens trying to return to his legendary music career post-Hee-Haw are unfair in amplitude, but not frequency.

  2. When Larry Summers is in a position of power, his positive accomplishments are rather limited (at best). When he is out of power, though, he often makes a solid back-bencher, as with this subtlety:
    But to say that the case for a rate increase has strengthened is not to say that it has reached the point of being persuasive.
    That is quality trolling.

  3. The lack of an Ombudsman at the New York Times means Maggie Haberman will still have a job after today.

  4. Tyler Cowen apparently believes (I suspect "thinks" is not accurate) that Heather Boushey's research findings (which he declares to be "thoughtful and intelligent") do not justify government policies. In other news, water is wet.

  5. I leave McMegan's most recent idiocy on health insurance to Susan of Texas, because she should be given credit for hitting the trifecta, with this for the win and this for show fitting on either side.
