From Krugman, on why the GOP hasn't seemed to get much for its billions in ad spending:
[W]hat if we’ve been misunderstanding Rove? We’ve been seeing him as a man dedicated to helping angry right-wing billionaires take over America. But maybe he’s best thought of instead as an entrepreneur in the business of selling his services to angry right-wing billionaires, who believe that he can help them take over America. It’s not the same thing.
Also, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority has a map of subway outages that suggests just how bad things are for New York commuters.
I used to live in the dead zone of that map. And then I moved to Hoboken.
