What to Read on July 9, 2009

June Was the Bloodiest Month of the War in Afghanistan — John McCreary (via Tom Ricks) – This is not progress.
Energy Industry Spends $28 Million in First Quarter Lobbying Congress on Climate Bill — The Washington Independent – Can you say “lobbying reform“?
Popularity Is In Your Genes — Scientific American – Clever study. Very true.
UNESCO: US Seriously Damaged Historic Babylon — The Associated Press (via Common Dreams) – This makes the historian in me want to cry.
The Dangers of Bad Financial Products — Mike Rorty (via Ezra Klein) – Another way of saying what I said yesterday. Great example!
