Happy Birthday to Jose Barrios, 56. No, you don't remember him -- just a very short cup of coffee, in 1982 -- but I do: three years with the Phoenix Giants.
Good stuff:
1. If you've read my various defenses of John Boehner (and for those who haven't: I think he's a pretty good Speaker in a very difficult situation), you should probably read Stan Collender, who has a very different point of view on Boehner.
2. Here's David Roberts on the Obama climate initiative.
3. And Scott Lemieux on Chief Justice Roberts and the Voting Rights case.
This is unrelated to your reading suggestions, but I had to comment that the moment I saw CNN would relaunch Crossfire in the hands of Tom P. Baxter, Business Visionary, I thought of your commentary on Newt over the years and wondered why CNN doesn't have a Bill McNeil whose great instincts could prevent this kind of slip-up. :-)
