• Does This Blog Get More Traffic From Google or Twitter?
  Twitter vs Google for traffic. To me it doesn't matter if Fred actually gets more traffic from Twitter or Google, I'm impressed by how much traffic he gets from Twitter in the first place.

• Charlotte Housing Authority Votes to Evict Families When Kids Skip Too Much School
  I think the idea is to make parents buckle down on their kids and make sure they go to school, but I also think that the unintended consequence is that kids have suddenly gained an upper hand on their parents if they didn't already have it. Not hard to imagine a kid saying, "Let me be or I'm gonna skip school and you lose the apartment."

• Comparing Anything to the French in the US is Perilous
  Ed points out that healthcare in France is excellent and costs about 1/2 what it does in the US and wonders why this is ignored during the health debate while the Canadians are regularly invoked. I'm thinking it's because the healthcare reformers are afraid of the "Freedom Fries" effect of invoking anything French in the US.
