Not that I needed a new TV addiction, but must confess I’m looking forward to 2-hour season finale of Empire tonight after binging this weekend. Snoop Dogg will be in the house.

Here are some remains of the day:

* Obama says if he had it to do over he’d close Gitmo on his first day in office.

* Interesting Times of Israel analysis of Bibi’s coalition options and the policy implications.

* At the Prospect, Gershom Gorenberg argues Bibi’s last-minute lurch to the right mainly motivated by desire to ensure Likud finished ahead of Zionist Union and got first shot at forming government.

* At Ten Miles Square, Lina Khan discusses a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau report on how mandatory arbitration clauses in purchasing contracts screw consumers.

* At College Guide, Kenneth Megan makes case for linking federal student aid to college commitments to assess student learning and train faculty in how to teach.

And in non-political news:

* Burger King’s Enormous Omelet Sandwich is among amusing list of failed fast food items.
