Tuesday link dump: Panel discussion to the dark side

• Kids in Brazil eat really great-sounding school lunches.
• Hey, simplifying the corporate tax code is a good idea with broad bipartisan support. So let's wait for this to not happen.
• Hawaii and the story of why the right hates aesthetic beauty.
• "That's right, kids. When your dreams of making a difference have all but faded into an uncertain world in which you never know if you'll have the $75 you need to convince firefighters to extinguish your rapidly burning house, it's time to find a safe haven in the welcoming bosom of public relations."
