Protesters give Congress a spine. Hee! You can also watch
speeches from the protest live on C-Span... oops, they've cut away to Hillary's town meeting in Iowa.
Check out
the Huffington Post and
Firedoglake's coverage of the Scooter Libby trial. Those two blogs wrangled press credentials for the media room, and FDL is pretty much live-blogging the trial.
Speaking of things the blogs cover best (or at all),
28 Conservative Senators voted to repeal the minimum wage. That's right, abolish it. Malefactors included John McCain and Chuck Hagel.
Kucinich says Bush risks impeachment by gearing up for war with Iran. Oh, I hope so...
these war drums are making me nervous.
The Potomac River Basin is full of intersex fish. At first I thought this was a happy little tale of nature's diversity, but no. It's the chemicals we've been dumping in the water that act like estrogen. Darn humans.
This story brought tears to my eye:

This one, from
missmurchison, made me laugh:
the 101 dumbest moments in business. There's some jaw-dropping stupidity in there. So far, my personal favorite is #32, in which a stock-trading site invited some Playboy Bunnies to participate in an investing contest. At the end of the year, they averaged better results than professionally managed mutual funds. Aahahhaha.
And from
maggiesox, a
man's arrested for fighting with shrubbery.
