10 new episodes of 'Arrested Development' will hit Netflix all at once
AMAZING
Brand-new installments of the cult comedy are set to premiere on the streaming site in 2013. Fun fact: 10 is also the amount, in dollars, that one banana costs.
So be Patriotic. Go out there and get rich. Get so obnoxiously rich that when that tax bill comes , your first thought will be to choke on how big a check you have to write.

How Obama Can Win The Fall
Sullivan advocates for revenue-positive tax reform. I’m not sure you can get the current GOP to go along with anything that is revenue-positive without them calling it a tax hike, even if you wrap it in the cloak of Reagan-esque reform.
Tim Pawlenty’s Extremely Weak Grasp Of Monetary Policy And International Finance
In light of statements made by Tim Pawlenty, this is a helpful (if overly simple) explanation of both quantitative easing and Chinese-American bilateral trade.
How Should We Approach Soldiers? Ctd
The key takeway:
“So, I say, get to know a service member or veteran. Then, after they share their experiences, thank them for their service.”
