HOUSTON, we have a problem! I'm dealing with a work-related disaster in Houston today, so posting is likely to be lite today...GOOD NEWS: AP News Alert:
ROYAL MARINE BASE CHIVENOR, England (AP) Helicopters carrying the British Royal Navy crew held by Iran have landed at a marine base on Britain's southwest coast.Iran released their hostages.

BOEHNER: The Republican Leader, my Congressman, and a Great American - John Boehner - has an op-ed up at Red State:
“American combat troops are now being used to grease the skids for spinach growers, citrus producers, tropical fish breeders, and the peanut industry. How proud my Democratic friends must be. … It is unacceptable that Democratic leaders would put America ’s national security on such thin ice by playing politics with troop funding. But it’s not too late for them to do the right thing. They should scrap their pork-laden retreat bill and start over. Let’s drop the pork, untie the hands of the generals, and support the troops.”Read the whole thing.
1:45 PM UPDATE: RightAngleBlog has a post about Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner's son's Facebook profile, complete with pictures and commentary. Would I have run something like that on WMD? I'd like to think not, but I will admit that I would have been tempted to link to it.
Is the kid out of bounds? According to his profile, the college student is a member of Brunner's "advance team" whatever that is...and as such, I'd think he is on the political stage and an appropriate person of interest.
Near as I can tell, this one is okay...but I really think the center-right is better than this sort of thing. There are plenty of things to point out about Brunner (and I suppose the point in pointing this profile out is to show Brunner's parenting skills - I guess) without resorting to "tabloid style" reporting.
