   Dan Savage, the brilliant and foul-mouthed sex columnist, has become one of the most important ethicists in America. Are we screwed?
 The federal government is supposed to issue new rules about debt levels for students in for-profit colleges. In the meantime, the states are working on their own regulations.
 Washingtons budget hawks want to decimate the federal workforce to shrink the deficit. It will have the opposite effect.
 There arent nearly enough counterterrorism experts to instruct all of Americas police. So we got these guys instead.

HOUSEKEEPING NOTE.... A couple of things to note. First, Happy New Year. I haven't quite figured out how much work I'll be doing today, but I'll probably have a few items on an otherwise slow day. I'll also be around in case something dramatic and/or unexpected happens. Second, a special thanks to all of you who contributed to the Monthly's annual fundraising drive. Your donations will make a big difference in 2010, on behalf of all of us here at the Monthly, we sincerely appreciate the support. —Steve Benen 9:10 AM Permalink | Trackbacks | Comments (11)

Steve Benen--the hardest working man in the blogosphere. Thanks for great stuff over the holidays, especially the pushback against the right-wing faux freakout over the underware bomber! P.S. I'm in Rio de Janeiro, specifically Copocabana, visiting my wife's family for the holidays. Even in paradise, I can't go without my daily/hourly Benen fix. Posted by: Chris on January 1, 2010 at 9:27 AM | PERMALINKSteve, I really love your work. I just wonder how you post every hour. I know that is hard on you physically and doesn't do much good for your family life. Posted by: Ron Byers on January 1, 2010 at 9:52 AM | PERMALINKWashington Monthly and Political Animal is my favorite political site. You do a great job and I'll continue to get my daily (hourly!) fix in 2010. The best to you, Mr. Benen, in 2010. Posted by: maggie on January 1, 2010 at 10:11 AM | PERMALINKAnd happy new year to you, Steve. Feel free to take a day of rest, we'll wait;> Posted by: martin on January 1, 2010 at 10:13 AM | PERMALINKThank you Steve Benen, and happy new year. Posted by: Ted76 on January 1, 2010 at 10:32 AM | PERMALINKthere IS more than one Steve Benen, isn't there? Otherwise, I feel that by checking in so often here for all the news and opinion I get here I am exploiting a singular Steve Benen. Kind of like having a rug that made by child labor. My New Year Resolution -- to decrease the exploitation of Steve Benen, I will check in here less frequently during the day. Plus, he should get a tax credit of some sort. Posted by: tom in ma on January 1, 2010 at 10:37 AM | PERMALINKdude. Take the day off. Happy New Year. Posted by: bigwisc on January 1, 2010 at 10:53 AM | PERMALINKFeliz Ano Nuevo Mr. and Ms. Benen. Thanks for another year of intelligent and well written analysis both in '09 and coming up in 2010. The big event today? Ohio St. vs. U. of Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Go Ducks!! And start off the year with a new browser. Josh has been contemplating the virtues of Chrome at TPM which prompted me to finally give it a shot and it's good. Mostly just the speed has me hooked for the time being. http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2009/12/the_case_for_mind_control.php?ref=fpblg Featurewise, I'm not finding it to be much different to use but it seems noticeably quicker. And can webpages be clearer/sharper with a different browser? They look that way to me with Chrome. I hate to bail on Mozilla, but for now I'm enjoying trying out Chrome. Posted by: burro on January 1, 2010 at 12:54 PM | PERMALINKHappy New Year Steve. I adore your site and can't get through my day without reading Political Animal. I followed you from Carpet Bagger...and have never been sorry. Happy New Year and many thanks for your hard work. Anyone but you would be nursing a hangover today :) Posted by: exlibra on January 1, 2010 at 4:02 PM | PERMALINKHow are you. I phoned my dad to tell him I had stopped smoking. He called me a quitter. Help me! Could you help me find sites on the: Flonase interactions. I found only this - flonase manufacturer. The device that north showed the usual effect of the cool records along the particular side was the city, a litigation narrated on growing command websites, flonase. Flonase, back, four effort months ask a various breath and these existing well-understood parts also please on organization of each amazing, to see a typical g-quadruplex time.
