Grab bag – Sunday morning

Good Morning!!
- Healthcare Reform updates here and here. We are really, really close.
- House Minority Leader John Boehner (Republican — Ohio) told bankers last week to fight financial reform and stand up to “little punk staffers.” Yesterday, Representative Barney Frank handed out buttons to many Capitol Hill staffers which read, “Little Punk Staffer.”
- The racism and homophobia that is rampant in the Tea Party Movement was on display once more on Saturday. This cannot be what America is about. I do appreciate the Tea Partiers for showing America who they really are.
- Representative Tim Ryan took to the floor of the house to denounce the ugly slurs. Good for him. Watch below:
- Glenn Greenwald points out the hypocrisy of Glenn Reynolds, who called for Israel to bomb Iran and cause as much trouble for Russia, China and the United States as possible. Wouldn’t this be treason? If you incite another country to take actions which causes America to take military action, isn’t that treason? I’m just asking.
- Police in Aruba are following up a possible lead which may lead to solving the mystery of Natalee Holloway ‘s death.
- Do you have old video games? I mean from the early 1990s? They could be worth a lot of money.
- While I find it impossible to keep up with March Madness, there are somewhere around 1000 games played over two weeks. Who’s got time to watch all of them? Well, somebody does. Whether you love basketball a lot or can barely stand it, everybody has to cheer for Northern Iowa. The Northern Iowa Panthers have knocked off the number one seed Kansas Jayhawks. The Jayhawks looked incredibly good all season. Almost everybody had been going to the final four. Outstanding performance by Northern Iowa!!
