  • Maybe Mitch McConnell's obstructionism will lead to renewed calls for Senate procedural reform! (And maybe John Thune will be president -- anything's possible.)
  • Blackwater really wanted to fight pirates, but they weren't very good at it.
  • Joe Lieberman is apparently the guy who got WikiLeaks booted from Amazon's servers.
  • Here comes Florida's Arizona-style immigration bill.
  • You know that oh-so-scandalous video (featuring plastic Jesus) that the Smithsonian pulled because Republicans threatened their funding? John Boehner has not seen it, and he didn't actually have to call the Smithsonian to get it removed.
