Politics and the Silly Season

A couple of articles have come across my desk recently.

From Gin and Tacos a nice analysis of why we might like some people pursuing their own self interests but not others.

From The Washington Post, an analysis of why the House of Representatives might decide to take time off of its busy schedule to reaffirm our motto is In God We Trust.

Some dynamite James Fallows (here and here) articles on how and why a majority in the Senate can't pass anything and how the party that is to blame (the Republicans) get off scott free.

Welcome to the Silly Season
