Clearing the Browser Tabs – The New Newsletter Hotness Wednesday Edition

I’m not going to say that an e-mail newsletter can change your life, but in rare cases they can just make the internet more useful and cool.

Melissa Clouthier, who is slowly taking over social media one platform at a time, has launched a newsletter that does both of those things. It’s special for two reasons. For one, if you sign up, you’ll get an e-mail written by Melissa Clouthier, which is like getting your own personal love song sung to you every day by Barry White. More importantly, though, is that it’s not one of those carbon-copy “here’s all the stuff we think is super-important” newsletters that get to you before you’ve had your morning cup of coffee. Melissa’s newsletter arrives in the evening, usually not long after dinner, so you can catch up on the happenings of the day as seen by someone who observes the universe of social media as keenly as Uatu the Watcher.

So, do sign up. You’ll like what you get.

And now, links!

• Jim Pethokoukis has been all over the coming budget battle the last few days. You can’t go wrong if you read everything he’s written the past three days, but I recommend you start with this post on the Simpson-Bowles plan then follow that up with this post on the Democratic alternative to the Ryan plan, “The People’s Budget”.
• Jim Geraghty notes that state taxes and fees have increased more in the past couple of years than they ever have. This post came up in the discussion on this week’s The Delivery.
• On a related note, I believe we can declare Keynesian economics well and truly dead.
• It doesn’t take a genius to look at the mounting stack of dead bodies in Britain and see what our fate could be under Obamacare.
• NSFW, but hilarious: “5 Lovable Animals You Didn’t Know Are Secretly Terrifying”
• The NHL Playoffs start tonight. Here is a schedule for all the first-round series. The only other thing I’d add is, LETS GO CAPS!
• I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or sign these guys to a reality television show contract.
