* Republicans want to remind you that 9 million pregnant women and children going hungry as a result of their shutdown is no big deal. After all, no corporations or rich people are going hungry.
* I don't agree with Ben Stein about much, but I'm in complete agreement that denying soldiers in Afghanistan a hot meal when they come in off control out of pure spite is a terrible thing to do.
