Wed, 04 May 2011 12:28:09 -0700 Midday open thread http://tutdaesa04.posterous.com/midday-open-thread-8 http://tutdaesa04.posterous.com/midday-open-thread-8
  • President Obama, on the decision not to release photos of a dead Osama bin Laden:
    That's not who we are. We don't trot out this stuff as trophies....we don't need to spike the football
  • Stop pretending, Mitch:
    Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana paid a visit to Washington on Wednesday, but he dropped few clues to clarify the growing chatter among Republicans about whether he intends to jump into the party?s presidential nominating contest.
  • Disgusting:
    A Texas high school teacher has been placed on administrative leave following an incident where he allegedly told a 9th grade Muslim girl in his algebra class "I bet that you're grieving" on Monday following the death of Osama bin Laden.

    According to one parent at Clear Brook High School in Houston who spoke about the incident to a local ABC affiliate, the teacher also said, "I heard about your uncle's death."  [...]

    "The student ended up crying over what was said to her by the teacher and the teacher asked her why she was crying and another student said it was because of what you said earlier," the parent told the station. "And his response was, oh, OK, and just kind of smirked and giggled and walked away."

  • Maybe they can rename french fries while they think about it:
    The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is cautioning against moving precipitously to cut or terminate U.S. aid to Pakistan.

    Michigan Republican Mike Rogers says the discovery of Osama bin Laden in a sealed-off compound near a Pakistani military base "is embarrassing to them." He tells ABC's "Good Morning America" Wednesday he believes that institutional entities in Pakistan like the army, intelligence service and government likely didn't know about bin Laden's presence, although he also says that it's possible "some individual might have known."

  • From the you-can't-make-this-shit-up file:
    John Ashcroft has been hired to work as an independent ethics advisor for Xe Services, the military contractor that used to be Blackwater Worldwide, the company announced Wednesday.

    Ashcroft, who became a controversial figure while serving as George W. Bush?s attorney general from 2001 to 2005, will head the company?s subcommittee on governance, which ?will focus on the company?s efforts to maximize governance, compliance and accountability, continuing to build and promote the highest degrees of ethics and professionalism within the private security industry.?

  • I'm no expert, but this seems way too soon:
    Though radiation sampling in recent weeks has shown fallout from Fukushima in rain, drinking water and milk, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced yesterday that it is returning to its regular program of quarterly sampling.
    After a thorough data review showing declining radiation levels related to the Japanese nuclear incident, EPA has returned to the routine RadNet sampling and analysis process for precipitation, drinking water and milk.
  • Oh, for God's sake:
    Karen Santorum says the 2012 presidential race, in which her husband, Rick, is a likely Republican candidate, is "not just another political race. It?s about going on to the battlefield and defending God?s truth in the world."  [...]

    She says the couple has "prayed a lot about the decision" and the former senator's decision--apparently she's referring to his forming a presidential exploratory committee--"is what God wants."

  • Fat chance unless Democrats can be blamed:
    U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell thinks the full House Agriculture Committee should hold hearings and launch an investigation into the relationship between rising oil prices and Wall Street speculators.

    ?As ranking member of the Agriculture Subcommittee that oversees the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, I have a responsibility to ensure speculators are not exploiting oil supply fears to make big profits,? Boswell said in a prepared statement.

  • Worth a watch (and pass it along): the "It Gets Better" ad.
  • It's the 41st anniversary of the shooting death of four students at Kent State University by the Ohio National Guard.

  • Funny that a lot of right-wing Republicans wonder the same thing:
    The Taliban cast suspicion Tuesday on the announcement of Osama bin Laden's death, saying they would not believe the al Qaeda leader was dead until they see proof or receive confirmation from sources close to him.
  • And in related news:
    White House officials said Tuesday morning that they were still weighing whether showing the public a photo of Osama Bin Laden's dead body would do more good than harm.
    Just do it already.
  • A great read from Dan Froomkin: Obama Succeeded Where Bush Failed: Osama Bin Laden Rhetoric and Reality
  • More of this:
    The death of Osama bin Laden in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad has sparked a wave of reactions on the short- and long-term goals of the American mission in Afghanistan ...

    Florida Rep. Cliff Stearns (R), however, took the opposite position Monday, saying Bin Laden?s death should signal the end of the Afghanistan campaign. The Florida Times-Union reports:

    ?Most people I talk to say that we need to address our nation?s budget deficit, and we are spending a lot of money in Afghanistan,? he said. ?Now that bin Laden has been executed we must go home.?
  • DOMA-related news:
    Progressive groups are stepping up efforts to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, the legislation that says no state can be required to recognize same-sex marriage. The groups are asking New Mexico Sens. Tom Udall and Jeff Bingaman, both Democrats, to support a repeal of the controversial law.  [...]

    The action came after a post on the Democracy for New Mexico blog, a Democratic clearinghouse of sorts, noted that neither New Mexico senator was a cosponsor of a bill authored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that would repeal DOMA. The bill is called the Respect for Marriage Act.

  • What do you want to bet that they got off cheap?
    BP PLC has agreed to pay a $25 million fine and beef up its Alaska pipeline network as part of a settlement with the U.S. government, according to court documents filed Tuesday.

    The settlement is likely to end a 2009 civil lawsuit the Justice Department filed against BP's Alaska oil-exploration unit over two major oil spills in 2006 on Alaska's North Slope. The settlement requires final court approval.

  • Mike Huckabee will join the ship of fools in South Carolina:
    In the latest indication that he's looking seriously at running for president next year, Mike Huckabee has signed on to speak at the Republican Leadership Conference in Louisiana in June, the group announced Tuesday.

    Huckabee joins a list of speakers who are likely to enter the 2012 fray, among them Rep. Michele Bachmann and Newt Gingrich.

  • A good question about David Gergen.
  • Congratulations:
    President Barack Obama is honoring Michelle Shearer of Maryland as the 2011 National Teacher of the Year.

    Shearer teaches chemistry at Urbana High School in Frederick, Md. In a Rose Garden ceremony, Obama says Shearer represents all teachers who are committed to improving their own skills in order to better educate their students.
