Is it that time already. Here ya go:
- Iran protesters storm UK embassy (BBC) — Which isn’t really quite the thing, is it? Iran expresses “regret,” which is semi-decent of them. Progress of a sort, I suppose…
- American Airlines Files For Bankruptcy (NPR) — Hard to say how this augurs for the economy overall. I seem to recall airlines do this even when the rest of us have decent jobs. Don’t they? Practically business as usual.
- Panel questions DHEC board on Georgia port permit (AP) — They all say Nikki didn’t put pressure on them. But what of that? As Cindi wrote, that’s not really the point here…
- Cain says he is reassessing his candidacy (WashPost) — Do tell. Ya think? Tell me something I don’t know. And other dismissive cliches…
- Newt Gingrich surges in South Carolina (The Guardian) — And even the Brits are taking notice, and playing it up.
- Myanmar Reforms Impress Some Skeptics (NYT) — An assessment of the situation on the ground, on the eve of Hillary Clinton’s visit.

Anything can happen. Gingrich is not leading in SC, and just today I saw a Huntsman sticker on a car. Really. It was outside the Mousetrap.
Any thoughts on the SC sales tax lawsuit?
I dunno Brad. Several polls are showing Gingrich leading. It’s starting to get pretty interesting and is now likely a two man race.
Hopefully Cain will stay in. He provides the comic relief for the campaign. Does anyone seriously believe there isn’t something to all these sexual allegations? Or do they believe they’re true and just don’t care?
Cain’s defence now is that someone is playing dirty political tricks by somehow getting these women to make false accusations. But who? Obama would love to run against Cain so it seems implausible that he would sabatoge the Pizza Man. Romney would certainly like to have as many viable candidates in play for a while so he can win the early primaries against a larger anti-Romney contingent. That leaves Gingrich and Perry. Both could benefit somewhat with a Cain collapse but wouldn’t it seem sensible to also plant women to lie about other GOP competitors as well? And so far no new allegations have come up about Perry or Gingrich. Cain is just not handling this well. Hopefully he’ll stick around and keep us giggling like middle school girls for a while longer.
How about this?
