Lots of little things this morning….

First, Reason has an interesting article on the apparent policy flip-flops of the Republican and Democratic parties, especially concerning massive Federal spending (Republicans) and opposition to the Medicare expansion (Democrats).

The Post-Gazette‘s Tony Norman writes about the real problem with talk radio these days.

World Rally Championship news: Ford has confirmed that they will run a full programme next season. This was up in the air due to increased costs thanks to two new rallies (Japan and Mexico). This also provides a bit more fuel to speculation that Colin McRae will find himself behind the wheel of a Impreza at Subaru next season. Subaru had been keeping things close to the vest since news of Richard Burns illness broke, probably in hopes that they could land Markko Martin should the Ford rally programme fold. But now with Martin back behind the wheel of a Focus, and precious few good drivers left without factory drives (Harri Rovanpera tops that list), McRae is looking like a quite catch for Subaru.

And finally, Salon‘s King Kaufman has an interview with the Tuesday Morning Quarterback, Gregg Easterbrook.
