On the issue of the filibuster, Sanders nailed
it. Senate Conserva-Dems, at the very least, should always
vote for cloture (not just when they support a particular bill). Then like their fellow conservatives in the Republican party, they're more than ...

The “Upper” House
The Talent Show —
Why you should be reading Ezra Klein :

Ezra Klein: Not feasible. But still totally necessary. Hell, if it were up to, I’d abolish the Senate totally. It’s an ...
WaPo's Klein: 'appalled' by flier
Michael Calderone's Blog —
The Washington Post's Ezra Klein, who writes on health care policy, was asked in an online chat about a flier which indicated that health care reporters, top Post editors and administration officials could be made available at a private dinner -- with a $25,000 price tag.
Did you know about, or participate in, this? And do you feel that's an appropriate action for a newspaper?
No. No. And no. I was genuinely appalled when I read that this morning. From every angle, it's dirty: It compromises us with the government officials we should be covering but who ...
