Thursday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Joe Biden is keeping up the pace while Obama is on vacation. Today, according to the Daily Guidance, he's heading to Manchester, NH "to mark a Recovery Act milestone."

The President returns from the Vineyard over the weekend. On Tuesday night, he's giving an address about Iraq to the nation from the Oval Office. (Note to White House media team: I know you're all geniuses, but that Oval Office address on the oil spill was a real dud. This one needs to be much, much better. Better speech. Better delivery. Work on it, please.)

Yes, Ken Mehlman is gay. Yes, it's good that he's helping to raise money for the marriage equality. He should -- and it's the least he could do. He spent a good part of the last decade politically bashing gays. This is another example of how quickly our society is changing. (Team Obama should realize how more and more out of touch their looking every day.)

Okay....what else?
