I don't know if other writers are experiencing the same thing, but there's really nothing left to write about Roberts at the moment. Nevertheless, I feel I should be writing about Roberts now. It's all very confusing. So, while I try to mentally segue into other subjects, here are some bits that got buried:
• Matt Holt wrote an excellent piece on the failure of Clinton Care yesterday that everyone should read. If you missed it, correct the mistake. Correctly understanding what happened there is crucial if we want to move forward.
• I wrote a less-excellent, but still rather interesting (or so I thought) piece arguing against the predictions that HSA's and the collapse of employer-based health care will necessarily lead to single-payer. Worth a look, I hope.
• My soon-to-be colleague Mark Goldberg notices Obama has picked up genocide-expert-extraordinaire Samantha Powers as an advisor. That's very good news for all of us concerned with humanitarian crises and interventions.
• And speaking of colleagues, I just really, really like this post by Sam Rosenfeld, particularly the last line, which is so drenched in contempt I had to wipe down my screen.
