Don’t know why I tend to do big ponderous think-posts like the last one late in the day; let’s blame it on the time zone issue.
In any event, before my blogging headache gets worse, here are some final items of a fairly busy day:
* National Review‘s Robert Costa, who knows his Republicans, gives an inside look at the wellsprings of Rand Paul’s presidential campaign.
* Daily Beast fires Howard Kurtz for crummy reporting on Jason Collins case–and general negligence towards his job.
* West Virginia accepts Medicaid expansion; Florida legislature about to adjourn without taking action.
* At Ten Miles Square, Jonathan Zasloff reports on the latest efforts by agribusiness lobbyists to stop food aid reforms.
* At College Guide, Daniel Luzer warns the backlash against standards-based education reform is reaching critical mass–with no real strategy for replacing it in sight.
And in non-political news:
* Hines Ward says he would support any gay football player who decided to come out–but the League “not ready.” Depressing.
So let’s close the day with a different version of “Shady Grove,” by Quicksilver Messenger Service, from the 1969 album of that same name:
Selah.
