According to Michael Barone, writing in RCP:
President Obama recently attended his 150th fundraiser.
That’s more than the number attended by the last four presidents put together.
Imagine the upside if the guy focused on doing good, on attacking the country’s real problems …
You know, on being president instead of just running for president.
If he wants the job so badly, why doesn’t he try doing it?
Couple of charts posted by Prof. Mark Perry caught my eye …
In one post, Prof. Perry charted college enrollment rates and tuitions.
Both slope upward,
Supply and demand ?
Maybe.

Keep the above red line (tuitions) in mind as you glance at the chart below: grade inflation.
The grades’ line also slopes up.
Sure looks like — as tuitions are rising — colleges are dishing out more high grades.
Cause & effect or just a coincidence?
Hmmm
These days, it’s popular to pile on Facebook because of its noteworthy IPO.
Amazing the number of people who knew that FB was overvalued.
Yeah, right.
An article last week in the WSJ harped that the Days of Wild User Growth Appear Over at Facebook … that Facebook’s user growth rate in the U.S. is slowing sharply.
May be true … but, it’s also true that “Facebook is already a dominant Web platform and they’ve got significant Internet penetration today. ”
Consider:
I’m not a big Facebook fan, but you gotta be impressed by the numbers that they’ve put on the board.
