The Obama
Boom
Reihan Salam, Slate
Salem writes: "Having come of age in the late 1990s, when the American economy was the envy of the world, the past half-decade has been a dispiriting slog. So, while I've learned to temper my enthusiasm about even the best economic news, I'll admit that even I'm getting a little pepped up."

USA Today
Wants You to Think Killings of Police Are on the Rise
Peter Hart, FAIR
Hart writes: "'Ambush Recharges Debate,' declares the front page of USA Today, a headline over a story about the killing of New York police officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. The 'debate' being recharged is presumably linked to the national protests against police brutality-protests that are in no way connected to this brutal murder."

Christmas
Letter From Jailed Al Jazeera Journalist Peter Greste
Peter Greste, The Sydney Morning Herald
Greste writes: "I write to all our friends and supporters from my jail cell in Mazraa Prison, Cairo. As we approach Christmas and the rather inauspicious anniversary of our arrest on December 29, there is a temptation to become morose over our continued detention. After all, on paper we don't seem to have made much progress."

Wall Street
Had a Merry Christmas. The New Year's Still Up for Grabs.
Richard Eskow, Campaign for America's Future
Eskow writes: "It's almost as if Wall Street's been expecting a break all along - but then, maybe it has. After all, instead of shoring up Dodd-Frank by restoring Glass-Steagall and breaking up too-big-to-fail banks, lawmakers have looked the other way."

Have People of
Color Been Locked Out of the Green Economy?
Brentin Mock, Grist
Mock writes: "Here's the problem: The lack of racial parity in solar economic benefits makes it more difficult for Jacobs to do this kind of pushing back. 'It's a horror show,' said Jacobs when I asked him about the climate for black enterprisers in the solar sector in Florida. 'African-American entrepreneurs had little chance to get in that mix.'"
