• The Wall Street Journal, on the many ways Democrats might seek to curb inequality. I'll say here, as I always do, that inequality qua inequality isn't the disease, it's the symptom. What's the disease? Well, I do hate to repeat myself...
• The Democrats, showing the sort of legislative savvy we've all been hoping for, are about to drill ethics reform between the eyes of the GOP:
Instead of forwarding one big bill, Democrats will put together an ethics package on the House floor piece by piece, allowing incoming freshmen to take charge of high-profile issues and lengthening the time spent on the debate. The approach will ensure that each proposal -- including banning gifts, meals and travel from lobbyists as well as imposing new controls on the budget deficit -- is debated on its own and receives its own vote. That should garner far more media attention for the bill's components before a final vote on the entire package.
• Finally, this'll be it for me today as I'm flying home for Thanksgiving. If any of the guesters got stuff to say, they should jump on and say some stuff. As for me, I'm just looking forward to the forecast...
