It's Friday, so the combination of late night Beer League Hockey games, infant care, and general world-weariness has piled up making coherent thought a struggle. So, here's a stream of consciousness...
Have been seeing some interesting debate around the size of the national debt and under which presidents' administrations it grew the most. There is a lot of specious data flying around, but the NYT has a pretty good digest of the numbers based on actual data from the Department of Treasury et.al. The aggregate message is clear, but I question whether they adjust the figures into present dollars. Then, there is the problem of adjusting the figures to a per GDP basis. Anyway, setting those quibbles aside, guess who contributed the most to the debt?
Check out The Colbert Report from 6/12 for a hilarious send-up of Romney's equine predilections. Jodhpurs are mentioned. Stephen also petitions to takeover Sweden's Twitter account.
Lastly, many of you are coming here from G+, so please leave a comment if you would rather just get this content in the G+ stream. If you don't mind being redirected to the blog, say so, too.
Ciao.
