Late afternoon/early evening open thread

What's coming up on Sunday Kos ....

• Devilstower will explain why the lost decade wasn't lost, how purity triumphed over pragmatism, and how Republicans killed capitalism.
• As an American, have you learned to love The Bomb too much? Plutonium Page will take a look at the strange evolution of American complacency toward nuclear weapons, and what it means for the future, in the context of the Obama administration's continued emphasis on "Global Zero".
• SusanG will review Scott Conroy's and Shushannah Walshe's Sarah from Alaska: The Sudden Rise and Brutal Education of a New Conservative Superstar.
• Five months ago, Steve Singiser suggested that the biggest electoral minefield would be in the battle for the Governor's Mansions. He looks at the latest data for 2010, and realizes that, if anything, the situation might have gotten even worse.
• All the talk about a modern version of FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Progress Administration, Meteor Blades will write, ignores what we really need: a permanent jobs program that is part of a new industrial policy. As the Campaign for America's Future has made clear, that policy can revive U.S. manufacturing, but only if it is green and only if it deals with an unfair and out-of-whack trade policy.
