Monday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The President has a busy day. First, he's getting a visit from the Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints. Then, he's flying to Austin, Texas where he's giving a speech at UT on the economy and higher education. Obama will also be appearing at DNC fundraiser in Austin and a DSCC fundraiser in Dallas.

The House comes back to DC tomorrow to vote on passage of the legislation that will, among things, provide aid to states to fund teachers.

Yesterday, on "Face the Nation," Tony Perkins, the gay-obsessed leader of the Family Research Council debated the lawyer for the plaintiffs in the Prop. 8 case. If you haven't seen it, take a few minutes to watch. Boies destroyed Perkins, repeatedly stating that it's okay to lie on TV, but not on the witness stand. You'll recall that neither Perkins nor any of the other gay-bashers would take the stand -- under oath -- in the Prop. 8 trial. They spew what Boies called "junk science" -- and their lies doesn't stand up to a real examination. Boies was brilliant. Perkins and his ilk have been exposed as the liars they are.

Let's start..
