   During a recession, should college presidents face the same pay cuts as CEOs?
 Forty years of writing from Taylor Branch, James Fallows, Katherine Boo, Marjorie Williams, Joshua Micah Marshall, and more.
 With help from Washington, the for-profit college industry is loading up millions of low-income students with debt they'll never pay off.
 The best recent memoir from republican Washington is a hoax. That should tell you something.

By: BLIND TRUST....When he became governor of Mississippi, Haley Barbour promised that he would sever all ties with Barbour Griffith & Rogers, his "little lobbyin' firm up in Washington, D.C." But did he? In the New Republic this week Noam Scheiber and Bradford Plumer raise some questions. —Kevin Drum 4:36 PM Permalink | Trackbacks | Comments (15)Comments
it's a shame Blind Trust only put out the one album. Winwood and Clapton were good together. Posted by: cleek on September 18, 2007 at 4:50 PM | PERMALINKCleek! How the hell have you been? Your Greasemonkey script has been getting a workout on my screen, and I am thankful every day for your public service. Oh - and LOL on the Clapton/Winwood joke! Posted by: Blue Girl, Red State (aka G.C.) on September 18, 2007 at 4:54 PM | PERMALINKNoam Scheiber still has credibility? The latest TNR cover is quite appropriate. Posted by: harry on September 18, 2007 at 5:00 PM | PERMALINKThat's nothing, Kevin. On Fresh Air today, Ali G admitted that he didn't have his assets in a blind trust during his years as Fed Chair. He explained that the law did not require him to. Gawd, I hate Republicans. That was a pretty long read, I notice also hes not required by law to place assets in a blind trust. The fact is that lobbyists are much like the stock market. Boeing [2004] spent $8.5 million on lobbying. That works out to $54 in earmark revenues [456 million or so] alone for every lobbying dollar spent. Lobbying, both sides, clearly has gotten out of control.

Posted by: cleek on September 18, 2007 at 6:45 PM | PERMALINKWhen I'm feeling down, nothing picks me up like PIE! Posted by: absent observer on September 18, 2007 at 6:56 PM | PERMALINKI know! I love pie! It's virtues are many! Posted by: Blue Girl, Red State (aka G.C.) on September 18, 2007 at 8:36 PM | PERMALINKFrist had a really nice blind trust, too, as I recall. Made him some good money--with hospital stock he was supposed to have previously divested--while he was off senatorin' an' majority leadin' an' diagnosin' from videos in Washington. Posted by: Helena Montana on September 18, 2007 at 8:43 PM | PERMALINKIt was Blind Faith, and they were not great together, actually very waek, that was why there was only one album and it never gets played. I was there. All, the local media has given some good coverage to this whole story.
