1. If any of you saw Robert Reich on the "Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" the other night. you missed an animated and enthusiastic Robert Reich opine on Obama and his presentation of the Jobs Act:

2. Going to try and add a new contributor the this digest. We'll see how it goes:

3. Once someone it is set that someone is to be executed, the process works like a glacier. Not that it is slow, but it seems like it cannot be stopped, even in the face of doubt, recanted testimony, or errors in the prosecution:

4. Mr. Friedman is not happy with the Republicants, but he's not enamored with Obama's plan. He would like to see some entitlements cut back on his American Jobs Act. Maybe Obama would make some compromises on those, and maybe he will, but he is smart to not show his before the bill is discussed. Maybe Tommy should have thought about that before he wrote is column for today:

5. As stated before-"all men are created equal" not economically equal. One way to obtain voter parity is for those wealthy people who want to remain rich and get richer, is to craft public policy so that they get what they want while the poor have to find their own way. This is how it is done:

7. Steve Lopez on the subject of what the LA Unified School District is doing to get by on smaller budgets - close the school libraries. Maybe we should remember that a school is a place of learning. Maybe the school system should consider stopping the fielding of football teams, and subsititute soccer teams. Soccer is less expensive, and appeals to a wider range of participants. The closing of the school's archives of knowledge is contrary it the school's mission:
