Thursday - September 10, 2009

The Daily Tribune:

  1. Venture Capital Dispatch, a blog within the Wall Street Journal, explains why they are so optimistic about venture capital investments into green technology with such a grim investment environment all around the world.
  2. John Lee at Foreign Policy demonstrates how the world slept while China cornered a pivotal market of rare earth metals that are the foundation for modern gadgetry, military technology, and renewable energy sources of the future.
  3. In his much referred to peace, George Will lays out the case in his Washington Post op-ed for withdrawing from Afghanistan as part of our fiduciary responsibility to our armed forces.
  4. Roger Cohen clarifies a crucial point in the Times, that while Twitter ain’t journalism, in Iran, social media has spoken volumes to an authoritarian regime demanding complicit silence.
  5. Over at Infrastructurist, Yonah Freemark counters Harvard Professor Ed Glaeser on the cost-benefit analysis for high speed rail investment in the United States.
  6. Michael Perkins from Greater Greater Washington, describes why DC’s metro system may face increasing budget gaps (labor, deferred maintenance, etc.) despite an increase in ticket fares.

On the lighter side:

  • If Where the Wild Things Are isn’t the best movie of all time, I might riot in the streets.
  • Joe Wilson’s little outburst just opened up a big can of shit stew.
