Partly to avoid distracting you from the rich new issue of WaMo out today, and partly because it’s unclear whether I’m past the galloping never-get-overs, we went light on blogging this morning. There will be a pop quiz on the College Rankings later today.
Here are some lite midday news/views treats:
* Expectations mount for Obama executive action on immigration now that he’s back in Washington. As Samuel L. Jackson once said, “Hold onto your butts.”
* Krugman again mocks Rick Perry’s “miracle,” calls for housing deregulation in blue states.
* At the Plum Line, Paul Waldman warns us we’re about to be hit with another batch of “Dems in Disarray” stories.
* At TNR Naomi Shavin deplores the lack of solid data on police use of force.
* At the Atlantic, Peter Beinart argues there’s not really anyone fighting in Syria we can ethically support in attacking ISIS.
And in sorta non-political news:
* Burger King trying to buy Tim Horton’s in order to become a Canadian company. That’s an “inversion,” folks.
As we break for lunch, here’s a recruiting film for your local under-attended cash-hungry college.
