Google is getting less useful in searching for me: it appears to be weighting certain search words on its own which skew my results. I was trying to look up how certain drug testings worked the other day and could only bring up sites addressing how to game or avoid getting positive results from those tests. I finally went into Medline for a couple of technical terms to use, avoided using the "popular" name for the particular drug test, and voila... I can't tell if this is because it's trying to be too "smart" in trying to anticipate the answers based on millions of really dumb questions, or if word sponsorship is raising an invisible hand here or what. Ugh.

I don't know whether I agree with this -- I worry that the health plan will be nibbled to death, but maybe they're focusing so much on eviscerating Social Security that it's OK for the moment -- but it's interesting food for thought:
Pelosi's Triumph.
Lots of good discussion and points. I really don't worry too much about this level of detail, but it's fun to dig a bit more deeply now and then:
