THE VALUE OF UNPAID INTERNSHIPS: “College students with no experience are not particularly valuable. Usually, they are a liability, and require extensive training and supervision to make sure they don’t screw things up too bad. Were interns to demand a salary at minimum wage, employers would be better to not hire them in the first place.”

MEGAN MCARDLE: Health Care Law Still Really Unpopular. “When you compare each individual poll with prior polls by the same outfit, they all show a jump in unfavorables of roughly 3-5% since the fall.” I think it’s getting a reverse-halo from Obama: As other Obama policies look increasingly inept and untrustworthy, people who may have been giving healthcare the benefit of the doubt before now aren’t.

FORGET SHARKS: Here’s your cow attack survival guide. “While the world worries about being eaten alive by sharks, statistics show that far more Americans are killed each year by a more menacing animal: the cow. Don’t let yourself become a statistic.”
WHEN NEWSWEEK EDITORS hold their noses.
MARK STEYN ON Lindsey Graham and the First Amendment: “I agree with the Instaprof: Lindsey Graham is unfit for office. The good news is there’s no need for the excitable lads of Mazar e-Sharif to chop his head off because he’s already walking around with nothing up there. . . . Claire Berlinski has it right: The real ‘racists’ here are not this no-name pastor and his minimal flock but Reid, Graham, and the Times — for they assume that a significant proportion of Muslims are not responsible human beings but animals no more capable of rational behavior than the tiger who mauled Siegfried’s Roy. If that is true, certain consequences follow therefrom. The abandonment of the First Amendment is not one of them.”
WEATHER RADIO: Reader Steve Eimers writes: “Please link to your weather radio again in light of the widespread storms today and tonight. I live about 5 miles from where the F3 hit in Greenback, TN last week. Had it not been for your Instapundit post I would have been completely unaware of the tornado threat. Fortunately, we had no damage at our house.” Here’s the radio. And you’re better off relying on one of those than on InstaPundit for your tornado warnings!

ROBERT FARAGO ISN’T IMPRESSED with “violence interrupters.” Of course, for an alternative view there’s what Keith Laumer once wrote: There’s nothing more peaceful than a dead troublemaker. But Laumer was already politically incorrect fifty years ago.
