Reading
There's nothing big out there today, so go enjoy your life, but, if you are a compulsive "coffee and news" like me, here are a few reads.
(NYTimes) Bush grants a pardon and then yanks it away from a real estate developer. (Psych.)
(CNN) Franken wins a Supreme Court ruling that looks very likely to make him Senator Franken.
My daily mancrush: (CNN) Obama approval at 82% and (WaPo frontpage) Obama works out.
(CNN) Pat Robertson praises Obama, criticizes Bush. (Knows where the wind is blowing.)
(Politico) Jindal's looking at 2016.
(McClatchy) In the Iraqi provincial elections, "An average of 33 candidates is running for each position..." which could easily lead to chaos over the results with candidates winning with 10-20%.
The NYTimes has an interesting piece on the different tones of Bush and Cheney as they give their exit interviews.
And, (CBS) This is one of those great, nearly costless international programs that helps so many and just took someone to come along and organize it.
Have a great day.

Re: Pat Robertson -- I think he's playing well with others right now because he's seeing a centrist Cabinet being assembled, and because evangelicals, in Rick Warren, have a piece of the Inauguration they can point to. He simply doesn't want to feel marginalized, and he's happy to the extent that he's not.
I feel Obama is positioning himself for maximum flexibility, cooperation and outreach once the real work of the new administration begins.
(and Happy Solstice!)

Libby thanks. Same back to ya.
R8r, I agree. I think Robertson feels his position slipping, and there's all that money to be lost if Warren or someone else takes his role.
