    Taxes and Billionaires
    Are Congressional Republicans really just trying to protect ordinary American businesses or billionaire fund managers?
    The biggest stick is infective if it is not used. 
    The bruising fades in time. 
    Maybe the lesson stays.  I doubt it. 
    We will have to break something like a Republican party.

    Frenzied construction in cities like Wuhan belies signs that development financed with borrowing by local governments could undermine China’s economic progress.

    Spain Confronts Years of Pain Over Lost Babies
    An investigation into the disappearances of hundreds of newborns from 1950 to 1990 involves allegations of abductions and the existence of criminal networks.
    Blame the Gypsies.  I think there was a subsidy and everyone likes free money.

    Hacking Scandal Poses New Threat to News Corporation's Image
    Line-skirting has always been part of doing business for Rupert Murdoch, but a voice-mail hacking scandal poses a new type of threat to News Corporation’s image.
    There is no image to threaten.  Existence is the stake.  The odds are not good for them.

    The move by the social network comes a week after Google introduced its own social network, which also includes a video chat feature.
    I may have misjudged this fight.  The phone companies are not dead yet.  I will try to sign on to Skype.

    Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain resisted calls for an immediate inquiry into British tabloid practices, and Rupert Murdoch responded to the scandal for the first time.
    Murdoch may survive.  That would be very bad.

    Obama Wants to Strike Broader Deal on Cutting Deficit
    President Obama, who will meet with the bipartisan leadership of Congress on Thursday, wants to move well beyond the $2 trillion in savings sought in earlier negotiations.
    Send News.  There should be no peace here.  Any deal acceptable to the Republicans will punk the rest of us.

    Watches Are Rediscovered by the Cellphone Generation
    Watches of a certain pedigree — even those that are just plain big — are especially valued.
    Geoffery Chaucer wrote an essay on how to use an astrolabe,  a popular ornament in his age.
    I don't know what happened to that watch. it lost its crystal.and I set it aside.  There have been several since. Electronics do it better but different.  Steam Punk likes them.

    Murdoch Facing Parliament’s Ire in Hacking Case
    British newspapers pounced Thursday on new reports of phone hacking by the News of the World tabloid, reportedly including the voice mails of relatives of fallen soldiers.
    The public has no right to know.
    My imagination does not stretch to a punishment that fits this crime.
    Conscription to the security service and personal bankruptcy might do for a start.
