1. jQuery: » jQuery, Microsoft, and Nokia:

   Both Microsoft and Nokia are taking the major step of adopting jQuery as part of their official application development platform. Not only will they be using it for their corporate development but they will be providing it as a core piece of their platform for developers to build with... This means that jQuery will be distributed with Visual Studio (which will include jQuery intellisense, snippets, examples, and documentation).

More on the bailout

LA Times: You won't believe where that $700-billion bailout figure came from (via).

You know where that very important $700-billion figure came from?

Here’s a quote from that Forbes story:

"It's not based on any particular data point," a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. "We just wanted to choose a really large number."

They made it up to be sufficiently ginormous to frighten everyone into rapid action.

And it worked.

Awesome.

Steve Dekorte has some more posts too:

• Arnold Kling on the Bailout (video, to watch)
• A Drop in the Bucket

Edit: Also, LGF linked to an article by Bill Whittle the other day that I'd like to read.

Edit: One more: LGF: Obama and ACORN
