• Charles Lane of The Washington Post editorial page staff lists three measures which would cost the federal government nothing and instantly boost job creation. I endorse all of them.

• The Wall Street Journal has a must-read article on the kingmaker role being played by the federal government in the alternative energy sector. When entrepreneurs head to Washington instead of Wall Street for funding, we've got a problem.

• Paul Suderman highlights some interesting excerpts from The New York Times obituary of economist Paul Samuelson.

• Michael Pitrelli has a column on Whole Foods Republicans. As someone who regularly shops there it hits a little close to home.
