Boy, the news finally picked up, didn’t it? Here’s some final notes:
* Yesterday I complained about the lack of consistent interest in DC in state and local developments. That’s obviously not a problem out in the heartland, as evidenced by this beautifully angry outburst at the Missouri legislature by our good friend Blue Girl. You go, girl!
* At College Guide, Daniel Luzer notes with interest that some law schools are beginning to reduce enrollments, partly because applicants are realizing there may be no jobs when they graduate.
* Greg Sargent reports on last week of campaigning for and against North Carolina’s Amendment One; initiative still leading in polls, but “anti” group much better organized.
* Kevin Drum offers wise and funny guidance on when to write about crazy talk by crazy people.
* TPM’s Erich Lach summarizes key findings of British parliamentary report on News Corp.’s phone-hacking scandal.
And in non-political news:
* Levi Johnston’s second child will be named Breeze Baretta, and yes, the middle name commemorates a brand of gun.
I’ve got a new TNR column coming out at midnight on the should-Obama-campaign-as-a-populist debate (Geoffrey Kabaservice has the first installment of this colloquoy today), so if you’re up late, give it a gander.
Selah.
