• The date for the end of the Iraq war was finally set!
• …but not really.  (And Ron Paul called it.)
• “Prolife” warmonger Rick Santorum was of course obliged to state that he’d get foreign policy “indigestion” if Paul became president.
• Oddly, Sarah Palin seems to be down with Paul’s views on overseas interventionism.  At least for this week.
• Meanwhile, American and Afghan soldiers may have orchestrated a death march of Afghan civilians.
• On the home front, the president’s communications director said that in terms of additional economic intervention (because the bailouts and stimulus bills worked so well and didn’t reward bad and fraudulent business behavior at all) Obama “believes we cannot wait, so he will act where [Congress] won’t.”  I can only assume he is not familiar with where the Constitution located the power of the purse.
• Also here at home, the TSA missed a loaded gun but did manage to leave a pervy note after finding a woman’s sex toy in her bag.  The TSA is such a red letter success for freedom!
