In Brief - June 27th, 2006
Here is today's quick (national) news digest:
- The flag burning amendment has failed by one vote in the U.S. Senate.
- A lot of interesting developments have taken place recently in the Connecticut primary race - Lamontblog has excellent coverage.
- Surprise, surprise - Rush Limbaugh was detained at the Palm Beach Airport yesterday, caught in posession of Viagra. Michael Hood predicts this will hasten Rush's exit from talk radio - and we agree.
- Josh Marshall comments on a speech that Dubya made this morning, pledging to try (again) to privatize, or phase out, Social Security after the midterm elections. Congressional Republicans can't be too happy about this announcement.
- Net neutrality is still under attack. Please call your senators (1-800-426-8073 to be connected toll-free to the Capitol Switchboard) - Murray and Cantwell, Wyden and Smith, or Craig and Crapo. Then call these senators.
