Finally got a new mini washer/dryer today. It’s gonna be like a laundromat here tonight, without the quarters.
Speaking of quarters, please consider taking that coin jar to the bank and making a tax-deductible donation to keep the the machines going here at WaMo and Political Animal. I really, really appreciate it.
Here are some remains of the day:
* Andrew Sullivan offers his own deconstruction of Ron Fournier’s “Bush = Obama” column, emphasizing Ron’s psychological need to blame and punish Obama for the breakage of so many old Washington rules.
* Our own Ryan Cooper writes at Plum Line about Elizabeth Warren’s bill to block use of credit scores in employment decisions. More about this tomorrow; I think this is a bigger deal than Ryan suggests.
* “Accidental” loophole saving the very rich up to $100 billion in estate tax payments.
* At Ten Miles Square, Keith Humphreys pens a letter to WaPo’s public editor about credulous science reporting, and gets no response.
* At College Guide, Robert Kelchen reviews the year in higher ed policy. Don’t miss it.
And in non-political news:
* Mega Millions jackpot up to $636 million, second highest level ever.
Let’s wrap up today’s brief tribute to early-80s Atlanta-based alt rock music with Samurai Catfish’s “Night Alone.”
Selah.
