The Pensacola News Journal reports the son of a Florida state House candidate "hid an infrared video camera, often used by hunters to track game" to monitor some his father's campaign signs at a local intersection. Minutes later, his father's opponent and wife are caught on video removing the signs.
Last month, Canada, a nation with roughly one tenth of our population, created about 10,000 more new jobs than America. Yes, Canada's economic recovery is outpacing our own. In terms of sheer job creation, June saw Canada create jobs at a pace that was five times the rate predicted by economists, Bloomberg News reports. Canada added 93,200 jobs in June, while U.S. private employers added just 83,000.

Private employers can sure focus on job creation when they're not saddled with out-of-control health care costs for employees, nor a government more interested in bailing out big financial institutions at the expense of smaller companies.
I have to say, I don’t get the administration waffling on Elizabeth Warren at all. Leave aside the merits of appointing Warren, which are considerable, and think about the politics. At this point, not appointing Warren would be seen by the base as a slap in the face, and would seriously dampen enthusiasm going into the midterms. And Democrats need every bit of enthusiasm they can muster to avoid a Republican takeover of the House. Given that, it’s crazy to vacillate. Maybe Tim Geithner doesn’t like Warren. Maybe Rahm Emanuel finds her hard to deal with. (I’m speculating here, not speaking from any inside knowledge.) How can such things count compared with the catastrophic effect of a GOP victory on the White House?

The Times (of London) has lost almost 90% of its online readership compared to February since making registration mandatory in June, calculations by the Guardian show.
Not especially shocked that no one has any idea what we did with all the money, but it does remind me of that multi-year period where it seemed that we invaded Iraq in order to free Iraqi schoolchildren from the tyranny of peeling paint.
