Still adjusting to life in EDT, where supper can come awfully early, but I’ll be more timely tomorrow.

Here are some remainders from today’s news:

* At The Atlantic, Simone Foxman sorts out winners and losers from the final EU-Cyprus deal.

* Mark Warner joins Claire McCaskill in the parade of Democratic senators announcing support for marriage equality.

* After considerable smoke from ex-staffers, Michele Bachmann faces Office of Congressional Ethics investigation of her 2012 presidential campaign finances to see if there’s fire.

* Sen. Tim Johnson expected to announce 2014 retirement tomorrow.

* At Ten Miles Square, Larry Bartels reports new research finding that–surprise, surprise–wealthy Americans think budget deficits are a very big deal, and favor cutting government spending to reduce them.

* At College Guide, Gregory Koger evaluates the uncertain effects of the Mikulski-Coburn “compromise” on NSF funding of political science research, and Seth Masket charts where these grants actually go.

And in non-political news:

* An entertainment biz look at TV’s renewed obsession with religion.

Passover begins tonight, and we’re into Holy Week, so happy reflections to all.

To close the day, here again are the Yardbirds, performing “Over, Under, Sideways, Down” in 1967.
