ExPat: News that would be funny if it weren't depressing
http://patfitz.blogspot.com/2009/09/news-that-would-be-funny-if-it-werent.html
Friday, September 4, 2009. News that would be funny if it weren't depressing. Obama Press Secretary dismissed this as "silly season," but for me it's more of a sad statement on today's state of affairs.

Not in today's America, I'm afraid. I wish I were making this up. But it gets better. Read on:. Someone should inform Greer that Pres...

While it's growing in popularity among budget travelers, Montezuma retains its surf charm, something of a Puerto Viejo. Montezuma's highlight is its 50-odd-foot tall waterfall a short walk south of town. Ther...

ExPat: What I'm reading: Obamanomics
http://patfitz.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-im-reading-obamanomics.html
Saturday, April 25, 2009. What I'm reading: Obamanomics. If you're got some time to kill, check out this captivating piece. From The New Republic on Obama's economic policies. The authors, TNR editors Franklin Foer and Noam Scheiber, find many similarities between Obama's philosophies and the central tenants of the behavior economics book Nudge. Which I've been meaning to read but haven't gotten to yet. I stumbled upon this article via the New York Times' new "Idea of the Day" blog. My old Chile blog.
