Stories to Watch: 3/20/11

Dark, cold, dingy, rainy day here -- in other words, spring. I don't have to go out and shovel rain though, so I'll take it. Now here's the news...


Libya isn't likely to be a protracted action, but it's worth noting that it is war and, like every other war we've been in in my lifetime, it's without a formal declaration of war. Liberals in congress ask what's up with that. Meanwhile, John McCain -- who throughout his congressional career has never voted against military action -- thinks President Obama waited too long. No declaration of war = unconstitutional. No vote by the UN Security Council = illegal. This war may still be unconstitutional, but it's apparently become way too legal for John McCain's liking. Then again, no matter what Obama did, McCain would be against it. His sore-loserism requires no less.


Things in Syria aren't so great either.


Nor Bahrain.


Nor Yemen.


Where things stand at the nuke plant in Fukushima Prefecture at the moment.


Finally, with the economy still in recovery and still high unemployment, House Republicans focus on the things that really matter -- like voting to affirm that "In God We Trust" is our national motto. That whole "E Pluribus Unum" thing reeks of collectivist socialism, I guess. The next time a Republican tells you the party is focused on jobs, grab your sides, fall to the floor, and laugh like a lunatic.
