Bloggable bits

I've been accumulating a list of things about which to blog. In the interest of time, here's a simple list:

HBR: Am I micromanaging my work? Sadly, the answer for me is usually yes. Regardless it is an interesting thing to examine in light of the fact that most people are concerned with how micromanage-y their manager is.

Gallup: Democratic Party image drops to a record low. Now if only the Tea Party would drop off the face of the earth, conservatives could perhaps win back some political mind share.

Pew Research: In related news, no one likes Congress either. The support for smaller government has risen 5 percentage points over the past four years, and now outpaces the support for larger government by 10 percentage points. Again, conservatives seem to have made some inroads; offering some concrete solutions is the logical next step.

LOLFed. Is utterly ridiculous but makes me laugh about financial news. I feel like that is an impressive feat. Even if I still don't fully understand what a CDO is.
