Sometimes the New York Times Op-Ed page makes me that much prouder of printing it out and leaving it in the men's room stall.
Great stuff from Krugman on Socialized Health Care systems such as those in Europe.
Friedman is starting to make sense, I am glad he dropped his Middle East beat, he was starting to loose touch with history.
A satirically clever argument AGAINST tax code simplification. Personally, I am for tax code simplification, but against tax simplification (ie: when the Bush-speak decoder ring says "Flat tax").

Delay's House of Scandal.
