Tuesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Well, it's pretty clear by now that this is Joe Lieberman's country. The Democrats have ceded power to him. I guess campaigning for John McCain really worked out well for Joe.

That other, less important leader of the nation, Barack Obama is meeting with Democratic Senators this afternoon. Apparently, Joe Lieberman has deigned to meet with Obama and the other Democratic Senators so he can explain what they can and can't do in the health care bill. It's all about Joe.

I really didn't think I'd be so annoyed in 2009. I thought this year was going to be fun. Boy, was I wrong.

Let's get threading the news.
