Need a mental laxative after brisk trip through British political journalism. Here are some remains of the day:
* Harry Reid admits to Ezra Klein that he’s really not in favor of reducing 60-vote threshold for enacting legislation in the Senate. Explains a lot.
* According to study commissioned by Orlando Sentinel, 201,000 Florida voters were deterred from casting ballots on November 6 by long voting lines.
* A very different study, suggesting that some robo-polls are adjusted to stay close to previously released live-interview surveys, is discussed by ABC’s Gary Langer.
* At Ten Miles Square, Aaron Carroll explains anomaly where in states refusing ACA Medicaid expansion, legal immigrants may qualify for coverage even as some citizens won’t.
* At College Guide, Jonathan Mahler places Te’o revelations in context of long tradition of Notre Dame “hooey.” I guess Dome-haterz are gonna hate.
And in non-political news:
* McDonald’s announces all of its seafood offerings (Filet-o-Fish and the upcoming Fish McBites) will be certified-sustainable. Don’t know if that extends to the McLobster they serve up here and there in New England and Canada.
Having begun the day with the Lou Reed of the self-consciously decadent Transformer, here he is from the even more self-consciously decadent Berlin with “How Do You Think It Feels?”
Selah.
