JOEL KOTKIN: Forget Second Stimulus: We Need Economic Vision. “Whatever the politics, no new stimulus should be considered unless it deals with the fundamental illness undermining the country’s long-term economic prospects.

DREAM FLYING on electric wings.

AN “ADULT TOY” FOR DOGS. Really, you can’t make this up. Though I wish I were . . . . But hey, it’s all about kindness, really, and enlightened self-interest: “During the doll’s test period with a few canines, including the Maltese Flock (responsible for the idea), the pets showed a better quality of life based on less anxiety, less barking, and less territorial demarcation. In other words, the dogs live a better life, satisfying their repressed sexuality, in some cases for many years.” I don’t want to be the guy in charge of the “easy-to-clean reservoir,” though.

Things sound like a total mess in the showrooms.”

ANN ALTHOUSE: Gates’s daughter gets catty about Crowley’s daughter: “she was wearing an appropriately heavy and charmingly untrained amount of green eyeliner.” Class condescension trumps race condescension in Barack Obama’s America.
