Tens of thousands of Israeli reservists called up for no-warning surprise Golan drill
Matt at The Coming Crisis - 50 seconds ago

under the codename “National Asset.”
The official IDF announcement tried to downplay its importance, describing
it as a “planned, routine event.” However, debkafile’s military sources say
the war game is the biggest the IDF has conducted in the eight years since
the second Lebanon war on Hizballah in 2006, with tens of thousands of

Kenneth Thomas at Middle Class Political Economist - 5 hours ago
The situation of the middle class is a hot topic these days, and rightly
so. In addition to James Carville and Stan Greenberg's recent book, *It's
the Middle Class, Stupid*, new books are out by Donald Barlett & James
Steele, Jeff Faux, and Mike Lofgren.Together, they advance our
understanding of middle class issues significantly.
Barlett and Steele have been sounding the alarm about middle class decline

on western embassies right across the Middle East was “escorted to a police

New Books in Science Fiction and Fantasy: D.B. Jackson's Thieftaker
Dan Nexon at The Duck of Minerva - 7 hours ago
My second NBinSFF podcast is live.
“D.B. Jackson” is David B. Coe’s pen name for his new historical-fantasy
series, The Thieftaker Chronicles. Thieftaker (Tor Books, 2012) centers on
Ethan Kaille, a private detective and conjurer, as he investigates a murder
in colonial Boston. David, who received a Ph.D. in U.S. history from
Stanford University before embarking on a career as a novelist, weaves in
plenty of period details and historical personages into an alternate Boston
where conjuration is real, albeit suppressed by the authorities. David
maintains a page of resources for thos... more »
Quick Way to Tell Your MP How to Vote on M312

For people not on Twitter, leadsnow.ca has an automated email to PMSHithead

Romney say or do anything.” The poll showed Mr. Romney doing especially

Rove may act like a clown on Fox from time to time but he's no fool, and he

slim. There's been a lot of talk lately about how he's thinking of shifting
money away from the presidential race and towards capturing the Senate and

Beware the Poll Write-Ups!
Jonathan Bernstein at A plain blog about politics - 7 hours ago
Oy, Pew:
At this stage in the campaign, Barack Obama is in a strong position
compared with past victorious presidential candidates. With an eight-point
lead over Mitt Romney among likely voters, Obama holds a bigger September
lead than the last three candidates who went on to win in November,
including Obama four years ago. In elections since 1988, only Bill Clinton,
in 1992 and 1996, entered the fall with a larger advantage.
That Barack Obama was winning by 8 points last week -- the poll was taken
September 12-16 and released today -- is a pretty good reading for him.

Wayne Watson Wins $7M In ‘Popcorn Lung’ Case: Your Food is Killing You

A Centennial man has won a $7 million verdict in the so-called “microwave

59-year-old Wayne Watson had sued the manufacturer Gilster-Mary Lee, also
Kroger and Dillon Foods.
He had purchased the popcorn at King Soopers.
Watson’s attorneys claimed there should have been a warning on the label.

there’s just as much support for that.”
Watson was diagnosed with respiratory problems in 2007 after years of

Say, maybe he can pay off that debt by cutting costs and quitting now!

Ignore The Electoral College! Follow-Up
Jonathan Bernstein at A plain blog about politics - 9 hours ago
I've been saying for months that it's best to completely ignore the
electoral college until at least after the conventions. Well, unless you're
making decisions about where to put resources if you're a presidential
campaign; then you don't have much choice.
A little confirmation that it's good advice comes from Nate Silver's latest
big look at the electoral college bias. He's been reporting for months that
the electoral college had a slight bias for Barack Obama -- that is, if the
election was a 50/50 tie nationally, the odds favored Obama to win the
election because his votes were ... more »
