Here’s what’s available to us at this hour:
- Iran warns U.S. Navy: Stay out of Persian Gulf (WashPost) — Which has got the Navy like, shaking with fear, I’m sure. Nevertheless, this bears watching.
- Iran tensions send oil prices soaring (The Guardian) — In case you didn’t care before, maybe you care now…
- It’s caucus day, and the spotlight is on Romney (WashPost) — Yeah, everybody’s talking about it, but I can’t really lead with this, because it hasn’t happened yet. Nothing to tell…
- Gingrich Calls Romney a Liar (NYT) — … nothing you’d want your children paying attention to, anyway.
- Dow Rings In 179-Point Gain (WSJ) — Nice start to the year. Not to wish ill on the Republican field or anything, but let’s hope the trend continues…
- Judge: Black church rightful owner of KKK store (AP) — In a related development, Man bites Dog.
5. Wait a few days it’ll drop just as fast as it rose. Look at the end results last year with the 300-500 point daily swings. In the end it didn’t mean a damned thing.
4. Of course Romney is a liar, he’s a politician isn’t he. If you want to impress me, show me a politician who isn’t a liar.
Here’s an historic development that I didn’t see until after I had posted the above: “Canadian man enters U.S. by showing passport on iPad.”
How about that?
