Stories to Watch: 6/17/11

I'm giving serious thought to taking next week off of blogging. Haven't decided yet, but it's been a while since I've had a vacation from it. Now here's the news...


Jimmy Carter calls for an end on the War on Drugs. Not the worst idea ever, considering that filling our prisons with nonviolent offenders is both mindbogglingly expensive and obviously not effective.


Bill O'Reilly scores one for conservative consistency; calls for David Vitter to resign in the aftermath of the Weiner resignation. Of course, it's never going to happen in a million years, but it's a nice gesture.


Polling shows a majority agree with the statement, "Government should do more to solve problems and help meet the needs of people."


US considers war crimes charges for Syria.


An Alabama Republican state senator and a horrible, horrible racist? Wow. I'm paralyzed with shock.


Russ Feingold's right; this does not seem like a step in the direction of overriding the Citizen's United ruling.


Finally, Andy Brietbart makes an ass of himself again. It's what being a media troll is all about.
