Happy Birthday to Donald Faison, 38.
Some good stuff:
1. Excellent news: with the top spot at Commerce once again vacant, Matt Yglesias has revived his always-fun history of Secretaries of Commerce. Only two more to Maurice Stans!
2. Sarah Binder on Olympia Snowe's late conversion to reform (I wrote a short thing about a related topic for PP yesterday, so I'll link to that too).
3. Jennifer Victor on research relevant to the question of mandatory voting.
4. And Ben Adler looks through the history of moving from business to politics.
I may be wrong, but I'd guess Snowe's coming lately to filibuster reform stems from the likelihood she'll be replaced a someone not Republican.
ReplyDeleteReforming the Senate will become a priority if there's a chance of either Republican control or a filibuster-proof Democratic majority.
