Yes, this is my Senator. Sigh.. double sigh. He comes across as an unbelievable moron and a highly embarrassing father.


If possible, find video of the entire show just so you can see the look of horror on Paul Krugman's face when this interview ends.

And then there is this: Apple pulls all books from Macmillian over pricing dispute.
Is that allowed? The implication is that books with the Henry Holt, Tor, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and St. Martin’s imprint are unavailable on Amazon? Read that sentence 1 more time. Doesn't seem as if it should be possible. Perhaps it will help out poor Borders, however.
