Monday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Lots of news swirling around. An Air France jet on a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris is missing. Just missing.

Today, the once venerable General Motors will file for bankruptcy protection. Expect remarks from Obama later this morning. U.S. taxpayers have a big stake in the company now. We're building quite a portfolio with our tax dollars.

Also, expect continued extremist attacks on Sotomayor.

Should be quite a week...
