More developments in Greece and with the Eurozone.
Back home, the Nebraska Republican Senate primary struck me as relatively important. And the Fed is finally, at long last, at full strength.
That's all I have; what do you think mattered this week?

The BRIC's are all in stock market bear markets at this point, I believe.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Warren was found to be a non-minority. She still claims to be Cherokee based on her knowledge of an ancestor "with high cheek bones." Does Warren represent the progressive movement's evolving attitude towards race?
ReplyDeleteplain blogger asked "what mattered?" not "what didn't matter?"
DeleteAnon - She's the new icon of the left. If she proves to be less progressive and less politically viable than first though, then I'd say that's pretty big news.
Delete@Couves, it's big news only to those who hope it's big news, i.e. Warren-bashers. It's a yawn to the rest. If that's a deciding issue in Mass, shame on us.
Deletethe rate of news stories about Ron Paul affiliated people taking over state-level Republican parties seems to be increasing... not sure if it "matters" yet or if it can be attributed to this week in particular as it seems to be an ongoing story. But this week I saw several different news blurbs out of Minnesota and a few other places that seemed to "matter."
ReplyDeleteI think the people outside of NE seem to have gotten this story wrong. Yes, I think it's big news. But I keep seeing people claiming this is a tea party win. When really, Fischer is as representative of the Republican establishment as they come. They didn't want Bruning to win and they recruited her. Bruning courted the tea party shamelessly.
