Two major clean air rules have been delayed, at least temporarily. The Interior Department announced a significant expansion of offshore drilling in the Arctic and the Gulf of Mexico over the next five years. Last week, the administration bowed to pressure from protesters, environmental groups, and residents and officials in Nebraska in announcing that it would delay a decision on the bitterly contested Keystone XL oil pipeline until after the 2012 election. Taken together, the moves mark the White House’s growing awareness of the costs of environmental regulation in a battered economy. (NYT, 11/17/2011)

No Future
Last week, Tim Weldon, 35, quit his job in Connecticut and moved from home to devote his time to Occupy Wall Street. “I think this will end up being the biggest and best career move I ever made,” he said in an interview. That was before the police cleared protesters from their encampment at Zuccotti Park. Now, he said, “I have no place to go.”
...Mr. Weldon graduated from the University of West Virginia, has a master’s degree in economic and social history from the University of Manchester in England, and has worked toward a Ph.D. in social anthropology at the University of Budapest. (NYT, 11/16/2011)
The dumbest person on the planet has now been found! By the way, this is exactly why Republicans want there to be accountability for teachers. This guy has a good case for suing his teachers.
