Monday Morning Open Thread

It's Emancipation Day here in DC today (that's why everyone gets an extra day to file their taxes). It's Patriots' Day in Massachusetts and Maine.

Wild week here in DC -- and it's not just the weather. Bush is going to meet with the Congressional leaders over the Iraq spending bill. He's still beating his chest, acting tough, refusing to negotiate -- and playing politics with the Iraq war. That's just what Bush always does. No policy, lots of play acting.

And, the lying Attorney General testifies tomorrow before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Start threading the news.
