Brian Klepper, who’s traitorously now pimping himself out on other blogs, extends the post I wrote the other day on the CBO at Pat Salber’s blog The Doctor Weighs In. It’s called Mr. Orszag’s Surprise and it’s a very good summary of the CBO document.

Also by Brian is his description of his heart surgery five years ago this week. Moral of the story—choose your parents better.

Finally, I have no idea what to believe about the Peak Oil movement, but Dan Berdnarz’s piece on the impact of the end of cheap energy on the world and global health is pretty terrifying.
