Potpourri

John Sides - July 9, 2012
  • Some polisci-informed takes on Friday’s jobs report (by Jesse Singal) and the impact of presidential campaigns (by Paul Farhi).
  • Lovely obituary of Elinor Ostrom.  “As a graduate, she had been offered only secretarial jobs; and her first post at Indiana involved teaching a 7.30am class in government that no one else would take.”
  • Could felon disenfranchisement affect the 2012 election outcome?
  • America’s birth certificate.
  • Ben Valentino: “…the American public remains broadly supportive of the alliances and informal security commitments that America has today, even though many of them were forged over 60 years ago in a very different international environment.”
  • Church vs. beer on Twitter.
