Seeded on Thu Jan 5, 2012 12:37 PM EST (The Nation)
I've been amazed / NOT-amused by the fascination that some liberals have shown with the ultra-conservative Dr Paul. This is a pretty good explanation.

Obama expected to reveal deep defence cuts
Seeded on Thu Jan 5, 2012 12:22 PM EST (alJazeera Magazine)
I rarely seed from Al Jazeera because many people discount it as a source, even when the subject isn't particularly "Arab-world-sensitive". So I googled "defence strategic review"... but couldn't find it elsewhere.

Nobody Understands Debt
Seeded on Mon Jan 2, 2012 10:14 AM EST (The New York Times)
