• “Conservative Activist Judge” Is NOT an Oxymoron — Tom Schaller – Bravo to Schaller for finally setting the record straight! It’s time we stop confusing these terms.
• US Considers Expanding Army: Pentagon — Agence France Presse (via Common Dreams) – Exactly how many more “temporary” expansions until the “temporary” part ends?
• Fighting the Zombies — Kevin Drum – Very, very important point. Please don’t make this mistake.
• Carter’s Speech Therapy — Gordon Stewart – Well said. Humbling stuff in today’s trying times. More fodder for my forthcoming book.
• TheMoneyIllusion FAQs — Scott Sumner – Sumner is a little overconfident about aggressive monetary policy. I’m not saying it can’t work (though it has its flaws), just that it’s mostly untested. That said, Bryan Caplan is completely correct: Every economist alive should read this manifesto. Bravo to Sumner!
• Petition for Fed Independence — Real Time Economics – If I were a professor, my name would be on this list in a second.
• Grading Obama’s Africa Speech — Chris Blattman – Blattman’s analysis is every bit as good as Easterly’s (below). Just knowing that these two guys are on the case gives me the “warm fuzzies” (read the post to get the reference).
• Grading Obama’s Africa Speech — Bill Easterly – Your one-stop shop for everything you need to know about the President’s speech in Africa, as well as an excellent summary of the important issues in African economic development.
