Thursday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The President is on the road today. He's heading first to Kansas City, Missouri for an event at Smith Electric Vehicles. According to the Daily Guidance, the company "is an all-electric, zero emissions commercial truck manufacturer that received a $32 million Recovery Act grant to build all-electric trucks." Obama is also doing a couple of events with Robin Carnahan, the Democratic candidate for Senator in Missouri. Then, Obama is heading to Las Vegas where he's attending a fundraiser for Harry Reid.

The Pentagon has begun surveying military personnel about the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. It's a study with rather bizarre questions about showers and bathrooms. Not kidding. This morning, SLDN issued a warning to gay, lesbian or bisexual servicemembers:

At this time SLDN cannot recommend that lesbian, gay, or bisexual service members participate in any survey being administered by the Department of Defense, the Pentagon Working Group, or any third-party contractors.
DADT is still the law of the land. And, it's being enforced. The process for ending DADT is complicated and still has a long way to go.

It's not going to hit 100 in DC today, but, somehow, the humidity has increased.

What's going on?
