The problem in a nutshell: The ratio of retirees to active workers in the U.S. will balloon.

Government unions remain as a permanent, taxpayer-funded lobby for big government.
And with the fight to retain PA 4 looming, it is not clear that Gov. Snyder's nuanced approach has allowed him to avoid the acrimony.

The Case Against Law School

LEGAL EDUCATION UPDATE: New York Magazine: The Case Against Law School.
“The hardest part about becoming a lawyer in a city like New York, if your path runs through a top-tier school such as Columbia or NYU, might be getting your application accepted.
After that, it’s mostly a matter of keeping your grades up and waiting for the jobs to come to you:
On-campus recruiting interviews lead to summer associateships, which often lead to jobs at the same firm after graduation.
Attending a less prestigious law school, though, has always been something of a gamble, and as the recession has squeezed the profession, the math has become dicey indeed.
Nationwide, there are two aspiring lawyers with passing bar-exam scores for every one open job; in New York State, the ratio is even more lopsided, with 9,787 passing the bar in 2009, then competing for roughly 2,100 new positions.”

Rally for Rush
The American Spectator : Rally for Rush
So.
Did you hear about Carbonite and Rush Limbaugh?
No, you didn't.
Not the way you will in a minute.
But first?
It's time to turn the tables.
It's time to stand up to the bullies.
It's time to Rally for Rush.
...And get a load of this.
Take a look right here at Ed "Laura Ingraham is a slut" Schultz's site for his radio show.
Who is listed as a Schultz sponsor?
That's right: Carbonite.
Like Rush Limbaugh, Ed Schultz apologized.
The difference?
If Rush uses the word "slut" to illustrate the absurdity of the left-wing Sandra Fluke's views --David Friend is outraged.
But when Ed Schultz refers in hostile fashion out of the blue to conservative and Catholic Laura Ingraham as a "slut" -- hey, no big deal for Carbonite.
In other words, to put it politely, Mr. Friend's woe-is-me I'm-withdrawing-my-company's sponsorship-from-Rush Limbaugh-because of-my-lovely-daughters is as close to certifiable BS as one can imagine.
Mr. Friend, one can only suspect, placed Carbonite's ads with Rush Limbaugh because he knew it would make him money -- which he obviously then funneled to MoveOn and the rest.
Meanwhile, he keeps advertising on the Ed Slut Show… sorry… Ed Schultz Show.
His daughters?
His daughters?
What a deeply cynical man.
Read all of this.
Very interesting.
Very important!
