Couple of things

- I'll concede the proposal isn't an awful idea, but the editorial fails to mention that when Republicans controlled Congress, they routinely sought CBO scores at the last minute or outright ignored seeking them altogether (see the Medicare prescription drug fiasco).

- Blog For Democracy is doing a series of essays from the Atlanta mayoral candidates, and Mary Norwood is up first. Personally, I'd vote for Sen. Kasim Reed if I was up in Atlanta.

- Larry Peterson reads the tea leaves for us.

- Lee Becker talks about Hard Labor Creek.

- OK, the officiating in the SEC has been absolutely awful this year, and there's every reason to hope it results in mass terminations of various officials, but ... Lane Kiffin is pathetic. Not only is his particular argument wholly wrong (the supposed personal foul came after the game, thus meaning its impossible to call a penalty on it), but I seriously have to wonder what type of program Tennessee is interested in building here? One with a petulant child at the helm?
