Even more than Digby on CalPERS, the one piece everyone should read today is Charlie Stross on International Travel . Since this is an economics blog, let's pull a key section: South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint preferred to let the TSA remain leaderless for the past year in fear of unionization of the workers. As he explained to CNN: Or, as quoted by Mark "neither Ernest nor earnest" ...

In the department of "things that should have been done a long time ago," the U.S. State Department has finally lifted its Syria travel warning. I was never entirely clear on why Syria fell under a travel warning in the first place: The State Department's warning (which has since been removed from the Internet) never referenced any specific threats -- just some ominous language about "la...

And are you a celebrity? Or for that matter even an average person somewhat considerate of unwarranted exposure of your body.
Conspiracy theorist – Alex Jones on his website prisonplanet.com has this to say:

Venezuelans have been taking to Twitter to protest threats to journalism and freedom of expression, leading the hashtag #freevenezuela to become one of the largest trending Twitter topics this week. President Hugo Chávez has responded to the outpouring of messages — many of which call for his resignation along with expanded freedom of the press — by asking the National Assembly to start prepa...

British police forces are making plans to deploy surveillance drones in UK airspace, the Guardian reports . Kent Police is leading the project; four other police forces have signed up. The drones look to be (relatively) cheap and simple machines that are battlespace tested: a manufacturer - BAE Systems - has evaluated its candidate drone (HERTI) in Afghanistan. The Guardian says that only CAA l...

Mike sez, "'The use by police of terror laws to stop and search people without grounds for suspicion are illegal, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled.'

I’m quite sure I could beat LeBron James in a game of one on one basketball. The game merely needs to feature two special rules: It lasts until I score, and as soon as I score I win.
