Egads, what a morning. I’ll try to find something other than Ben-IRS! to write about. Here are some more diverse mid-day morsels:
* At TNR, Jonathan Cohn reminds us that Obamacare’s impact on the delivery of health services goes beyond extension of health insurance.
* Carl Bernstein reminds us exactly what Richard Nixon personally did in encouraging IRS audits of “enemies.”
* Thought-provoking Abby Rapoport piece at TAP on union efforts to encourage worker “self-organizing” in situations where collective bargaining just not available.
* At The Atlantic, Ta-Nehisi Coates explores long, disreputable history of research on race and IQ.
* Jury hung on two counts in Gosnell trial. Re-trial would please anti-choicers hoping to make Gosnell the face of late-term abortion.
And in sorta non-political news: UN Food and Agricultural Organization urges greater consumption of insects, despite “consumer disgust.” Yum!
I’ll check to see if I have any termites in the freezer. They’re said to taste like walnuts.
