  • BP: not entirely truthful about how many barrels of oil are spilling or how many they are collecting. Also, they're much better at traditional PR than they are at crisis PR.
  • J.D. Hayworth knows his history: we never declared war on Germany. Except that we did.
  • Here's a preview of the upcoming Indonesian film "Little Obama."
  • This is a great Wired piece on a guy who has a plan to fix traffic, forever. (It will never happen.)
  • Why aren't Fannie and Freddie in the financial reform bill? Because the Senate can barely do one thing at a time! We've been over this! They'll get to Fannie and Freddie later.
