Immigration Reform? Really?
“Ross Douthat regurgitates CW on #immigration, this is why DC brain trust perpetually surprised http://nyti.ms/aIguao”
Douthat is Spewing toxic sludge. He knows that any bipartisan effort is doomed to failure by the intransigence of the Republican machine.If the balance of power does not move to the Democrats Government will shut down. Obama also knows this. All that proposing any legislation can do at this point is demonstrate that intransigence. Such a demonstration may be worth the effort if the lack of success can be laid to the Republicans.I will be fasinated to watch the blame game played out by masters.Spun commentary will not aid our understanding of the process.I expect nothing but spin from Ross Douthat.

Rethinking Early Retirement in Europe
“A Korean man over 75 is more likely to be working than a Frenchman in his early 60s. http://nyti.ms/akpIwN”Contractual obligations.France has had a retirement age of 60 for several years. You would expect most men above retirement age to retire.This is a useless puff piece.

McDonald’s Workers Are Told Whom to Vote For
Employees at a restaurant in Canton, Ohio, got a political pamphlet with their paychecks urging them to vote for the Republican ticket.Slavery . . . The managers are not supposed to be able to know how the staff votes. discovering that indirectly is criminal. The courts must convict on proof. Termination after the vote should convince the grand jury. failure to investigate would be a civil rights violation. What a lovely can of worms.

Detroit Reins In Its Theatre Bizarre
“Some NYTimes coverage for my hometown friends! Detroit Reins In Its Theatre Bizarre - http://nyti.ms/9LtRXP”I guess that the right palms were not greased. The regime changed recently. Ann is not that kind of adventurous and re professor former husband would have none of that. Their daughter is afraid of me. I might corrupt her into thinking.

Eric Asimov discusses the alcohol content in his tasting report.
Good idea. I think you should include alcohol content of every wine you review. It's an important element of the drinking experience.He has a good point. Think about what you are reading and why.I am going to have to think all the time. I want it to run in background. I love you. I can have just one. Can you? I would rather not find out.
