The Beck-Van Impe Nexus

Sarah’s Hand Signals
I caught this pic over at HuffPo, provenance unknown, and immediately wondered if Sarah was signaling a confederate about how many mooseburgers to serve for lunch. Is she waving with fingertips? Are those “spirit fingers”? Does she have full command … Continue reading

MIT Prof Endorses Senate Bill
Johnathan Gruber, MIT economist, has crunched the data and says the GOP attack line is full of crap: A new analysis by a leading MIT economist provides new ammunition for Democrats as the Senate begins formally debating the historic health-reform … Continue reading
Weisberg Discovers Chess
As the media slowly discovers 11-Dimensional Chess, I get this weird feeling that the best is yet to come. Salon’s Jacob Weisberg sees what I’m talking about: This conventional wisdom about Obama’s first year isn’t just premature—it’s sure to be … Continue reading
