Wednesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The President is in Columbus, Ohio today. He'll be at a fundraiser for Ohio's Governor Ted Strickland. Then, Obama is flying to Miami where he'll headline a fundraiser for the Florida Democratic Party. After that, back to DC. (It's good to have one's own airplane. Avoiding airport lines also makes this kind of travel a lot easier.)

Good riddance to Dr. Laura. She's leaving her radio show. And, hat tip to Media Matters for keeping up the pressure. On Larry King Live last night, Dr. Laura blamed Media Matter for her demise -- although it was all her fault. John has a long history with Dr. Laura. He helped launc StopDrLaura.com, a campaign that prevented her from having a t.v. show back in 2000. The woman is a hate-filled menace.

And, how about Blago? He beat Patrick Fitzgerald on all but one count.

We're getting a torrential rain storm in DC. And, we're under a flood warning. Local news keeps telling me that there are floods around the city and in the suburbs.

I've got jury duty again today.
