Stories to Watch: 6/6/11

Went to a street fair yesterday and got a bit of sun. You can probably read in the dark from red glow put off by my forearms. Had a lot of fun though. Now here's the news...


Anthony Weiner comes clean; the photo is him, he sent it and, no, he will not resign -- although, I doubt anyone on the left will ask him to.


Although Nancy Pelosi is calling for an ethics investigation.


The right wing is trying to (literally) rewrite history to cover Sarah Palin's ass. People who know what they're talking about aren't buying it. He didn't warn the British, he didn't ring any bells. What little Palin got right about the story seems to be a matter of luck. Be glad she didn't get mixed up and say that Revere the silversmith was a "silverfish."


The Wisconsin Supreme Court takes up Gov. Walker's union-busting bill. At issue, violation of Wisconsin's open meetings law. I'll point out, as I always do, that Republicans could get around this easily by rescheduling a vote and passing the thing the right way. I'll also point out that the fact that they aren't suggests (extremely strongly) that the votes are no longer there.


And as long as Republicans are going down in recall elections, Wisconsin Democrats figure they might as well take Paul Ryan down with them.


As Minnesotans prepare to vote on an amendment banning same sex marriage, 70 ministers in that state vow to perform those marriages anyway. First amendment fight on the way?


Finally, Home Depot to the American Family Association: screw off.
