Back from Italy, Etc.

We're back from our Mediterranean stay, to a country where guys where socks with their sandals. More tourist nattering later, but meanwhile, here's some good stuff that has piled up in my Google reader:

• Social Security deficits.

• Don't Take Your Guns to Town.

• Princeton Gives Kindle a D (h/t Chris Blattman).

• Rasselas.

• Marianne Moore's Booklist.

• Führer of Vampire Squiditude.

• Escape from Punchbowlism.

• Gintis on Sandel.

• Myers on Sigal.
