Things have been piling up this week, and I’m just going to have to clean off the shelf labeled “Write About” lest I get buried:<\/p>\n
Charlie Rangel has not been having a good year – even got his car towed from the Capitol<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 As much as it pains me to say it (I’ve always enjoyed his style), I wonder whether it might be getting time to call it a day.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n The RIAA attempts to create a black hole of irony by complaining<\/a> that an opposing lawyer is engaging in sham litigation tactics.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n An interesting graphic comparison<\/a> of the costs of firing a 20 year employee, sorted by country.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n Mike May shares an excellent analysis<\/a> of what Lance Armstrong’s return to racing will mean to amateur racing.\u00c2\u00a0 I think his observations about local sponsorship are spot on.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n Matthew Yglesias is gives us the most recent edition of explaining the perverse political incentives<\/a> that result from the electoral college.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n Earlier this month, I wrote about Palin speechwriter\/animal rights advocate (no, really) Matthew Scully<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 This fellow isn’t terribly impressed<\/a> with Mr. Scully.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n
