  • Top 50 US Craft Brewers by Sales (MAP) | Sloshspot Blog – You may have seen the map we created earlier this year using the data from 2007 sales, and we now present the updated version with figures for 2008 sales. Once again, to be very clear, the rankings are determined by sales of those breweries that fit the criteria: small, independent and traditional (see the Brewers Association definition of Craft Brewers here). This is not a list of the best beers, so you won't see your local monastery that receives 101 bottles from Heaven each year. We also included some interesting information regarding recent brewery openings and closings.

  • The Steve Rubel Lifestream – Why Lifestream? To Model Leonardo Da Vinci – I like to think of a lifestreaming as today's digital equivalent of Leonardo Da Vinci's notebooks. (Make no mistake, I am no Da Vinci nor do I think of myself in such a way. It's purely an aspirational metaphor.) Da Vinci recorded notes, drawings, questions and more in his notebooks. Some of these were quite mundane (grocery lists and doodles), others were not. But the body of work was over time, a view of a one individual's mind (in his case a great one).

  • Revenge of the RINOs – The Daily Beast – Meghan McCain is right – Democrats and Republicans needs to agree on what needs to be done, even if they don't agree on how to do it.
  • Allvoices.com – That’s fine, Gov. Rick Perry, Texas can go ahea… – Gov. Rick Perry of Texas grabbed national attention again this week during the anti-tax teabag ruckus by suggesting that Texas might just at some point get so fed up with federal taxation that they'd want to secede from the United States. He bragged that the Texas economy is in good shape compared with other states, let alone compared to the "federal budget mess," said Fox News. I say we call that bluff. I live in Texas; I know that Texas is, according to State Representative Eliot Shapleigh, "On the Brink." Here's a small sample of Texas's rankings compared to the 50 U.S. states (1=high, 50=low).

  • Where are the Best Cities for Job Growth? | Newgeography.com – The study is based on job growth in 333 regions–called Metropolitan Statistical Areas by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which provided the data–across the U.S. Our analysis looked not only at job growth in the last year but also at how employment figures have changed since 1996. This is because we are wary of overemphasizing recent data and strive to give a more complete picture of the potential a region has for job-seekers.

  • Pew Research Center: Candidate to President – America's impression of Barack Obama has changed substantially from his time on the campaign trail last fall to his current position in the Oval Office. When asked what one word best described candidate Obama in September 2008, the most-common response was "inexperienced." When asked for their impression of President Obama in February 2009, more Americans used words such as intelligent (the most frequently used one-word descriptor), honest, confident and smart, and fewer used words like inexperienced, young, new and change.

  • Localities Facing Merger Push – WSJ.com – The idea of merging services to reduce labor costs has been gaining popularity for some time, but is getting a stronger push now. Still, it isn't clear how much money can be saved through consolidation. Many cities and counties already share costs and services. In some cases, when governments consolidate, they transition from being governed by part-time officials to hired professionals, who tend to propose more ambitious and costly projects, said Mildred Warner, director of graduate studies in Cornell University's department of city and regional planning.

  • Why the Republican Party Must Die – Generational Theft and End of Republicans – Esquire – So now all taxes are socialism and any kind of deficit spending is generational theft? This is just crazy talk. But we're used to crazy talk from fringy Republicans. Either they're trying to convince us that Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs or they're insisting that 99 percent of the world's scientists are wrong about global warming — and that they have a Professor of Dentistry at Oral Roberts University who can prove it. That you can pay down the deficit by cutting taxes. That the God of Love who embraced lepers and prostitutes is really the God of Gay-Bashing. It's almost hilarious the things these guys come up with. And now they want us to take their economic ideas seriously.
