This site’s devoted readers (if any) will have noticed a relative absence of the ballast I usually provide to this blog, because of a trip to NYC to seek housing. I was only able to fly Jet Blue

The NLRB decided today, in a 3-2, straight party-line vote, to claim that since graduate students are students, they are therefore not employees, even if they perform labor services in exchange for m
This interview, which will be much blogged about–although I can’t see anyone topping Jesse Taylor, so I won’t try. But, really, it’s worth the free ad.

For some reason, the CBC isn’t entirely persuaded that a coalition consisting almost entirely of white […]
In the cloture vote today, only 3 Dems crossed: Zig-zag Zell and Nelson, definitive “nominal Democrats,” and Robert Byrd. With Byrd, I’m not sure if it’s some obscure constitu
