Chris Dodd, who released a major financial regulation package this week, shoots a coquettish glance at Mark Warner.
1) One of the perks of working at The Washington Post is access to their massive photo archive. Problem is, I'm limited to photos that relate to the post I'm writing. Now, they're testing out a Top 10 Political Photos of the Day feature, which is where I got the gem atop this post. Check it out.
2) "Once we brought baseball wherever the Marines landed; now, high-fructose corn syrup."
3) The problem for climate change is that people talk about the future temperature of the earth as opposed to how much that temperature will cost us. Nobody cares about temperature!
4) Time to sell your gold.
Recipe of the day: Faux ma-po tofu.

I'm with BB on selling gold. Everyone who's going into it right now seems to think it's a "sure thing", which is basically a guarantee that they're all going to be stunned and start selling off when the price actually dips to reflect fundamentals. Heck, I'd short it if it weren't for the fact that "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

"The problem for climate change is that people talk about the future temperature of the earth as opposed to how much that temperature will cost us." You didn't say that right. The article says it will cost $37 trillion to _avoid_ the temperature rise. It doesn't discuss the other choice: How much will it cost it to _deal with_ the temperature rise? Those are the numbers that we should be comparing.

The mussel recipe in the comments of Bittman's post is at least as notable as the Faux Ma-Po Tofu recipe. Check it out. Also, check out the header photo of the blog the commenter links to.
