• Court: No review of Obama’s eligibility to serve
  I think the Court made the right decision here. I’m no Obama booster, but this struck me as a lame argument from the beginning.
• Texas lawmaker defends $140K lounge renovation
  But not convincingly.
• New rule allows concealed carry in national parks
• Big Three bailout gains traction
  My sense is that this is bad policy throwing good money after bad. It’s also a great example of why the GOP deserved to get fired in November. We don’t need *two* parties spending money we don’t have.
