Two Must-Read National Articles: One Hysterical, One Insightful

In light of our recent study on transportation, this article in the Onion has some outstanding additional recommendations for addressing Missouri’s serious transportation needs. (A hat tip to devoted reader James "Jim" Cronin, aka "Cronin", of Fairfield, CT for alerting me to this. Because of his much- appreciated tip on the story, he and I are now officially even for the time he brutally cubed me with a hackey-sack. Or was it a tennis ball? To be honest, I only remember the agonizing pain.)

I also must recommend this amazing article about the changing political worldview of playwright David Mamet, written by Mr. Mamet as an essay in one act. While Mamet has never thrown anything at me for no reason whatsoever, I still loved the article, which briefly gets into the economics of Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman. Link via Drudge. (Hey, Drudge, I have now linked to you, so I believe it’s your turn to link to me.)
