It’s cool as the result of a front passing through, so the cats are being a pain, as they feel invigorated.

Yves at Naked Capitalism noticed that not only did the Goddess of Objectivism, Ayn Rand, use Social Security and Medicare, but the Demi-God of the Austrians, Friedrich Hayek, was lured back to the US by being enrolled in the system. They only object to the ‘little people’ having access to these programs.

Steve Bates covers the discovery by Krugman that the Austerians want people to suffer, well ‘the little people’, not the MOTU, of course.

Avedon loves this quote: “”Money is like manure: Spread around, it helps things grow. Piled up in one place, it just stinks.”

It is by Oscar Ameringer, a very interesting guy – a real American Marxist, among other things.

Corrente has a new template. YMMV may vary, but I find the text unreadable. The font isn’t being rendered properly, with some letters, like “a” and “n” actually larger than the other letters. I thought that it might have something to do with the recent upgrade to Firefox 7.01, so I tried Chrome and IE. Both of them refused to render the style sheet at all, and IE gave a Java warning.

It’s a shame because they have had some of the best coverage of the OWS, but the text is just too hard to read. The difference in letter size and the unusual alignment of other letters, has me looking at letters, rather than reading words. Doing it for an extended period gives me a headache, so I won’t spend a lot of time over there until something changes.
