Obama's Energy Triangulation - (USA)
With the possible exception of health care reform, no major issue presents more political opportunities and potential pitfalls for President Barack Obama than energy. A misstep over energy policy could cause serious economic, social and political consequences that could continue over the next decade. To succeed in revising American energy policy, the president will need to try to triangulate three different priorities: energy security, environmental protection and the need for economic growth.

The Impact of Public Policy on Juvenile Crime - (USA)
The trend of public policy making and the impact it has on juvenile delinquency and the criminal justice system is a interesting topic to be explored. There are many implications and questions, and concerns in addressing this issue. The issue of juvenile delinquency is important in the sense that it directly impacts public policy.

12 more years? - (USA)
That’s not a reference to the recently-gone-private blogger who formerly blogged at Have a Gneiss Day (lemme guess, earth science). She called herself 17 more years , then updated (upgraded? downgraded?) to fifteen . By the way, she was fully anonymous, until some jerk indicated in the comments section that she was outed amongst her colleagues. Now she’s blogging privately. I don’t know how to avoid that problem. I don’t want to private-blog. I don’t know how to stay anonymous. And I don

Caine reveals Italian Job ending - (USA)
The mystery of The Italian Job's cliff-hanger has been resolved after almost 40 years by Sir Michael Caine. The 1969 film ends with a gang of gold thieves hanging over a ravine in a bus. Every step they take towards the loot threatens to tip them into the abyss. "Hang on lads, I've got a great idea," says Sir Michael's character, Charlie Croker... and then the credits roll. The star says he would have saved them by "switching on the engine", burning off petrol until it righted itself

A Warning Label - (USA)
Last week, EphBlog , a blog for Williams students and alumni, was discussing the Taylor op-ed that rolled through the blogosphere. One commenter wanted to know how many grad students really knew the odds that they would face finishing their program and then finding employment. They asked me if our grad school programs informed us about our odds. The answer? No. I clearly remember our orientation in a large seminar room. There was about twenty five or thirty first year political science stu

As recently as 2005, Milton Friedman was still singing the praises of utterly failed economic policies that had been put to the test by Ronald Reagan and Bushes Sr and Jr. Friedman's policies have been found tragically lacking.
