Sunday Open Thread

  • I watched Blue State a few nights ago, after receiving a copy from the director at TBA. A cute little road-trip flick. Certainly not a hard-hitting documentary or an emotional thriller, but, if you have a couple of hours to spare, it's worth a rental.
  • Dan Walters on again/off again love affair with the Governator is apparently off these days.
  • The Bee takes a look at some of the loopholes that Liz Hill is eyeing to make up for the remaining $8B or so in budget deficit. A nice quote from Alin Auerbach at Berkeley:

    "If you're thinking about cutting spending, you're also thinking about cutting benefits," said Alan Auerbach, an economics professor at the University of California, Berkeley. "It would be worth thinking about programs that are running through the tax system - whether they're meeting social objectives."

    • Consider this an open thread.
