Another gorgeous day. Going to have to do something about all the leaves soon, though. I actually kind of like raking, if the weather's nice. A good excuse to get outside and just do a pleasant and undemanding chore. It's all very zen. Now here's the news...
In the Massachusetts Senate race, Republican incumbent Scott Brown decides that being a dick is a real smart move. He might consider a strategy that involves more friend-making and less enemy-making in the future, since the 'baggers plan to cut him loose.
Republicans want President Obama's blackberry messages in a Solyndra probe. It would be poetic justice for the president to tell them, "What George W. Bush said."
Scientific idiocy in the pages of the Wall Street Journal? Imagine my shock.
Lindsey Graham plays the victim card on Rick Perry's behalf. It seems that you can't get away with racism in the south anymore and this is a terrible, terrible thing. Or something. Serious, I can't make heads or tails of this argument.

How to hand down the death penalty -- without a trial.
Finally, Bank of America's decision to charge a fee for debit cards is beginning to look Netflixian in its stupidity. The bank's website may have actually been brought down several times by all the customers rushing to close their accounts. Of course BoA won't confirm this, other than to say that traffic has been heavy lately.
