In fact, terming the agglomeration of tanning beds in double wides and the backs of laundromats an “industry” is stretching the term until it makes ...

• In what strange world is 60-votes not representative?

  
  The United States of Jamerica — Authority: 498
  Last night, David Gergen lamented that the Senate’s health care vote (which was really a vote to close debate on the bill) happened on party lines, taking it as straightforward evidence that the health care bill isn’t actually representative of the nation’s voters.  As far as I’m concerned, the fact that ...

• How to limit filibusters

  
  Marginal Revolution — Authority: 752
  Requiring fifty rather than sixty votes is one obvious response, but lets say that either isnt possible or is for other reasons undesirable.  That is, you still might want a high threshold for new legislation, yet without so empowering the sixtieth legislator or for that matter the fiftieth legislator.

• Reflux capacitor

  
  dustbury.com — Authority: 578
  Why so many politicians give us heartburn: Richard Nixon famously remarked that no one could attain public office unless he had the “fire in the belly” impelling him to overcome the obstacles. He was right, of course. Attaining office is an obstacle course so difficult that without the “fire in the belly”, ...
