Aimless Quickhits

(AP) A brewing scandal at Oral Roberts University. Mostly pretty standard misappropriation and abuse claims against the son and family of the founder. All except this:
Mrs. Roberts -- who is a member of the board of regents and is referred to as ORU's ''first lady'' on the university's Web site -- frequently had cell-phone bills of more than $800 per month, with hundreds of text messages sent between 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. to ''underage males who had been provided phones at university expense.''

That'll get your attention. (It has to be the daughter, right?)

(NYTimes) The Republican candidates are backing Bush on the SCHIP veto.

And, (Ambinder) Another Republican money group (re)forms to press the "Reagan" politics. (Now we know why Newt said he wouldn't run. There's all that 527 and PAC money he can get his fingers on.)
