Free kibbles

FEDERAL RESERVE:

Bloomberg puts up spreadsheets of Fed lending during the financial crisis.

WAR:

More US soldiers died of suicide than in combat. I don't mean to sound insensitive, but that's because so few died in combat. The number of casualties in our current wars is remarkably low compared to previous wars. Not that that matters to the dead and their families.

POLITICS:

Gingrich and Perry also fail to make it on the Virginia ballot. That means only Romney and Paul will be on the ballot. Gingrich calls Virginia's system a failed system. Third parties know every system is a failed system. But Gingrich knew what the system was when he started his campaign. Despite being a bigwig Republican, his campaign failed. This shows a lack of leadership and support for the candidates who failed to make the ballot.

More than 100,000 protest against Putin's corruption in Moscow. It would be nice to see that here.

MISC:

Here's another example of how government is costing the US its tech edge: Russians and Europeans plan to compete for the next generation supercomputer.
