Tab Dump
• Debunking the euthanasia canard.
• The time Gawker put The Washington Post out of business.
• Tom Philpott's final sentence leaves me very pessimistic about the future of cooking.

McMegan thinks $350/mo can get you a HMO policy in New York, gets laughed off stage at her own blog.
"Then you've been missing the entire point of the health care reform exercise."
Her fanboys are there, of course, to claim that in their cool, pure free-market nirvana, those premiums would be driven down to the price of a decaf latte.

Obama more and more seems like Shakespeare's Hamlet. Pick your favorite specific comparison; there are at least a few. He's committing every tragic mistake. I can't think of a reason why this is good. Hamlet was a tragedy because of, well, Hamlet. Likewise Obama.
Of course, Hamlet was the prince by birth; here we elected him. But otherwise not much difference.
When's he going to make up his mind?
