GOOD: ‘Super PAC’ Increasing Congress’s Sense of Insecurity. I can understand the concern associated with having an out-of-state/district PAC, but increasingly even 'local' elections have national impact....
TECHWISE CONVERSATIONS: Fukushima, One Year After.

More here.
MORE THAN HALF of Obama’s 47 biggest fundraisers, those who collected at least $500,000 for his campaign, have been given administration jobs.

THE CHEVY VOLT is a failure, so it must be the Republicans' fault.

Talking Points Memo: the spin starts here.
WIND POWER: subsidizing companies to not produce subsidized energy. Just another benefit of crony capitalism from the White House.
MICHELLE MALKIN: The War on Conservative Women.
CAPITALISM IS GREAT. It's the only system with a moral core because it's based on freedom, not force.
