One library's funding solution: Raffle off a Harley (Dec 20 2003 18:59 GMT) - Heritage Public Library, in the western Pennsylvania borough of McDonald, is taking a rather noisy approach to the challenge of preserving the branch. To help ease the impact of Gov. Ed Rendell's proposed funding cuts, the library is raffling off a 2004 Harley-Davidson Softtail Classic to supplement its revenues. Tickets are $30 apiece, and the bike is valued at nearly $18,000. The library hopes to raise $10,000-$15,000 from the raffle. |

The Ownership Society (Dec 20 2003 18:58 GMT) - David Brooks explains how the Republicans are co-opting DLC ideas: President Bush has a proposal to combine and simplify the confusing morass of government savings programs and give individuals greater control over how they want to spend their tax-sheltered savings. Administration officials hope, in a second term, to let individuals control part of their Social Security pensions and perhaps even their medical savings accounts. The Ownership Society idea allows Bush to be centrist and conservative at the same time. It is centrist because it means actively using government to solve problems. |

Two thoughts (Dec 20 2003 18:57 GMT) - 1. Guest-blogging over at Crescat Sententia was fun, but also reminded me how much I value have a comments section. I like to know how people are reacting to me, especially when I make a more serious (err, less silly) post. There was a big cross-blogosphere hubbub over this a few weeks ago.... I've been a big supporter of comments. |
