http://truth-out.org/news/item/10677-economy-generates-163000-jobs-in-july-unemployment-edges-up-to-83-percent
Dean Baker, Center for Economic Policy and Research: "The economy added 163,000 jobs in July, its fastest rate of job growth since February.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10679-gore-vidal-and-his-reading-list-for-america
Michael Winship, Moyers & Company: "Ironic in 2012, as Tea Partiers embrace the Founding Fathers and their document in a death hug and Michele Bachmann claims it was one of Gore Vidal's novels about the early history of the United States that repulsed her so deeply she became a Republican."
