A couple of interesting things, about which I have been meaning to post, but haven't the time, both in my areas of interest. Hopefully I'll get back to them:
Recess appointment of former Massey Coal exec as the head of MSHA. Yet another ugly tale of the Bush administration.
From Gordo at the Liberal Avenger, a link to the Old Brit speculating about Bush interest in Paraguay. That aquifer is BIG, and something I've studied peripherally. Comments from our regular Southern Cone visitor (you know who you are... de-lurk already)?

Mitch McConnell in the Lexington paper (which details, among other things, a predictable axis between the next Senate Republican Leader, the Secretary of Labor, and Big Coal).
