Endpoint (1.20.12)

Here are the week’s best links that we couldn’t get to:

1. The New York Times looks at what the 1% do for a living.

2. Edgar Allen Poe’s grave went unvisited this year on his birthday. A 75 years running tradition nevermore.

3. And then there were four. Rick Perry dropped out of the Republican primaries this week.

4. The Feds shutdown the popular movie site Megaupload this week. Here’s why.

5. We hear this kind of rhetoric all the time with Detroit, but should rust belt cities really be thought of as a sort of laboratory?

6. What the Chinese think of SOPA and its comparison to China’s censored Internet.

7. I think the title alone will be enticing enough: Martin Luther King Versus Mitt Romney.

8. Massachusetts passed a law banning employment, housing, insurance and credit discrimination against transgender residents.
