Couple of things

- I agree with the sentiment, but disagree with the scenario.

- Ralph makes it official as Sen. Ralph Hudgens opts to run for Insurance Commissioner ... which, given how many insurance lobbyists have him in their pockets, makes perfect sense.

- Well, this isn't good. Granted, children - and adults - fib when they fear that they're gonna get in trouble, but it would have saved a lot of headaches and potentially prevented the dog from being put down (though I'm not clear on existing ordinances when it comes to dealing with dogs who attacks individuals, regardless of the circumstances). I feel absolutely awful for the kid, but this whole thing is rather unfortunate.

- Yeah, you had to figure that it wasn't all good news as Sen. Joe Lieberman suddenly opposes a public option and, presumably, would filibuster reform which featured it. One step forward, two steps back ...
