Mike's Blog Round Up
May 5, 2022

Angry Bear: U.S. manufacturing and construction starts this month are off to, well, good starts.

Balloon Juice: Owls, blue jays and cat arms, oh my!

Calculated Risk: Exports rose sharply in March, but imports rose even more.

Eschaton: The SCOTUS opinion in Dobbs will doubtless usher in a rapists’ rights movement as women who miscarry or harm a fetus face ever-crueler punishment.

Speaking of which, your quote of the day:
"The health exception is a loophole wide enough to drive a Mack truck through it." (Paul Ryan, on a “health of the mother” exception in a proposed “partial-birth abortion” bill, April 5,2000)
