Tab Rally 1/12/11

A tab “dump” just sounds so… half-hearted. A rally — now that’s designed to discuss.

Here’s some news of the day from angles that make it interesting:

A look ahead: What to expect with regard to housing issues in 2011.

What “blood libel” means (and doesn’t mean).

The nation’s capital is getting its first residential charging station for electric cars!

A sage reminder that the Tucson (domestic) terrorist attack was more about Rep. Giffords than it was about Sarah Palin.

Employment trends in historical context: Hold on to your hats (and definitely don’t quit your day job!).

Groupon: How much is it worth (and how much do investors think it’s worth)?
