Friday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Today, the President doesn't have much on his public schedule. He does have a photo op with the winners of 2010 TOP COPS award in the Rose Garden. The awards are given by the National Association of Police Officers (NAPO). Tonight, NAPO hosts an awards ceremony at the Warner Theater here in DC for the TOP COPS. I went to this ceremony once, about ten years ago, back when I worked in the gun violence prevention issues. Cops were our best allies. Actors who play law enforcement officers on t.v. hand out the awards (and I met Christoper Meloni.)

The Senate is still working its way through the financial reform bill. From what I can tell, nothing horrible has happened to the bill -- yet.

The oil keeps gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.

The White House has yet to make it clear that Congress should repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell this year. Time is running out.

What else?
