Poop, Wretches, and the 53 Percent

Some good reads of late:

All the poop on constipation by pharmacist Scott Gavura over at Science-Based Medicine. I had no idea it could be so interesting. (Though I apologize in advance to my grammarian friends for Gavura's tendency to put hyphens in -ly adverb phrases. He's a a pharmacist, not a copy editor.)

The Ink-Stained Wretch Tax Plan by Eric Black at MinnPost, pointing out that simplification does not equal flat. Although he, like most, is a little thin on the concept of income, as pointed out by Ed Lotterman.
