Better than Nothing?
Bad financial reform is not better than no reform at all. Haven't we seen this before? Democrats put out a "good" idea. It gets picked apart and all good portions are taken out. Then Democrats get angry and try to pass the bill and everyone says well now it's a bad bill. Why not just pass the original?
The Cheney Curse
Apparently his not so nice words to Patrick Leahy were a crowning achievement of his time as Vice President.

NFL Mock Draft
The final final final NFL Mock Draft: 1. STL- Bradford 2. DET- Suh 3. TB- McCoy 4. WAS- T. Williams 5. KC- Okung 6. SEA- Bulaga 7. CLE- Berry 8. OAK- Pierre-Paul 9. BUF- D. Williams 10. JAX- McClain
No real surprises in the top 7; we'll see if that holds true tonight because that'd be pretty boring. The real intriguing storyline will probably be how far Clausen and Tebow fall.

Slow Not Racist
Jonah Goldberg says the Tea Party isn't racist, just slow to react to George W Bush. While perhaps this has some truth, it always surprises me that people will deny there is any racism when there is photo evidence of clearly racist signs. You'd think they'd just say those are a few bad apples instead of completely denying their existence.
