Robert Reich says debt be damned. The government should be spending more to rescue the economy and not worry about debt, because the situation is going to get a lot worse:

Let me say this as clearly and forcefully as I can: The federal government should be spending even more than it already is on roads and bridges and schools and parks and everything else we need. It should make up for cutbacks at the state level, and then some. This is the only way to put Americans back to work. We did it during the Depression. It was called the WPA.

Yes, I know. Our government is already deep in debt. But let me tell you something: When one out of six Americans is unemployed or underemployed, this is no time to worry about the debt.

Kottke has a nice overview of livermush (pork parts bound together with corn meal) and there’s a reference to northwest Ohio.

Stand up and eat: Does standing while eating suggests a lack of respect for the meal? It’s a question Tim Hayward posed recently. I almost always sit when I eat, but there are times when I’ve been sitting and I want to stand up for a while:

I love to eat standing up. I have my breakfast standing every morning. One hand knocking out toast and espressos for my wife, the other wrapping sandwiches for my daughter’s packed lunch. Because I work at home, alone, I get to eat lunch standing at the prep bench and yelling obscenities at the radio. With the laptop on wireless I can even work while I eat.
