Carnival of the Liberals #75

Leo says: "Well, given the recent news, it's no surprise that the 75th edition of Carnival of the Liberals would be a bit of a downer. Don't let that stop you from checking out the included posts though. Mike has collected ten of the best of the recent submissions at Clashing Culture that all manage to offer up a fresh perspective on recent events, or at least help further our understanding of the sorry state of the election and economy."

And our host says: "Doing the Carnival of the Liberals makes me grumpy, because I realize when reading the submissions that the world is not going to live up to my ideal no matter how I try. And so, on that cheery note, I present the best ten posts of the 38 submitted this fortnight past, written by people who are trying to apply the brakes as we slide towards the bottom."

As always, it's a huge honor to find that one of my posts has been selected. Head over and enjoy.
