JONAH GOLDBERG on the debt bill: Grass Trimmed, but Landscaping Postponed.

[I]f the intelligent and sophisticated position is that your budget numbers don't have to add up, can't we do a lot better than this? Over the last 10 years the federal government doubled in size, in terms of spending. Doubled. Do you feel like you're getting twice the value out of government you got 10 years ago?

THE POST-PARTISAN UNIVERSITY. Both my children have indicated an interest in returning to graduate school for an MBA; I've told them not to waste their money unless they absolutely need a 'ticket punched' to continue their respective careers.

THE WASHINGTON POST'S Suzy Khimm outlines a leftist agenda for job creation:

1) Infrastructure Bank,
2) Surface Transportation Funding,
3) Tax Loopholes,
4) Free Trade Deals, and
5) Aid to State and Local Governments.

And the jobs 'created' will all be government jobs. That's what Obama means by 'job creation'.

UPDATE on the bitter clinger.

DAN QUAYLE would have been a better president.

NASA's EYES IN THE SKY study pollution on earth.

The long-term goal is to make it possible to use satellites to provide hour-by-hour monitoring of pollution levels across the country. That would help the Environmental Protection Agency and other parts of government enforce air quality standards.
