I'm going to attempt to start a new feature that I've seen on a number of blogs, and have liked. And you've seen me do it sporadically, especially today. Monday to Friday at 6pm Eastern, or so, I'll try to put up a post linking to a number of the day's stories that we never got to, but are still worth checking out. They may be big news we didn't get to, or small news that simply didn't deserve a full post by itself. But all will be, from our perspective, interesting, and worth a look. I think it's a useful form of posting, so we'll see if folks like it.

The simplest explanation for Lieberman's pirouette is that he is in the pocket of the insurance industry. He has been criticized along those lines since his days as attorney general of Connecticut. Back in 1988, he was dogged for accepting campaign donations from the insurance company Advest Inc. one month after Connecticut Insurance Commissioner Peter W. Gillies had requested an opinion from his office in a case involving the company. Over the course of his career in the Senate, meanwhile, Lieberman has taken more than $1.04 million in campaign contributions from insurance companies, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.The religious right extremists at the bigoted American Family Association want Obama's Nobel.
