 | IN THE MAIL: Born Liberal, Raised Right, a guide to child-rearing and “turning tiny tyrants into good citizens.” |
| PROMISING CHANGE, PICKING INSIDERS? “President-elect Barack Obama promised the voters change but has started his Cabinet selection process by naming several Washington insiders to top posts.” Hey, you can’t spell “change” without a D-A-S-C-H-L-E! |
| SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT THE VOLOKH CONSPIRATORS, but I don’t really think they’re a bunch of crazed leftists. |
| MORE ON Eric Holder, fierce drug warrior. Oh, goody. You’d think that the Obama election would at least bring some relief on this subject, but noooo. . . . |
| A REQUEST: If you see good commentary in college papers, send me a link. |
| THE ADVANTAGES OF SMALL BANKS. ”According to FDIC data, the failure rate among big banks (those with assets of $1 billion or more) is seven times greater than among small banks.

| JIM LINDGREN: A Simple Argument Against the Auto Bailout: An Auto Bailout Would Destroy Jobs. ”Anyone who thinks that giving money to a company losing 2-3 billion dollars a month — with overpaid workers and overpaid executives – would usually save jobs in the long run, rather than lose them, doesn’t understand economics.” |

Anyone who does, recognizes that this is not going to be bridge financing towards a massive restructuring. I’d wager even the supporters in the DC area would admit that GM is probably going to be back for more within the year.” |
