About a conservative economist publishing a study that living wages worked. (It is so rare a conservative admits he is wrong that is still news despite conservative economists in the 70's also holding a similar favorable view of minimum and living wages.

Oh, and Rumsfeld, too.

And a memo that Bush received forbidding any stock sales in Harken Energy a week before he sold almost a million dollars worth.

and about other things like a bad election prediction...

See, you could have been getting an education from me for years.
