NSA, Immigration and Nice Nails

Hillary Clinton gets aggressive on immigration. Joan Walsh says Hillary is not trying to reassemble Bill's coalition, she's trying to expand on Obama's. The New York Times article about nail salons has gotten everyone talking. Why aren't they regulated better? Josh Barro says it's an example of why we shouldn't always fetish-ize small business.
