In Brief - March 12th, 2007

Good evening, I'm Ted Baxter with tonight's quick news digest:

• A new Media Matters For America report finds that, when it comes to the Sunday bobble-head shows, conservative guests still dominate, despite the change in party control of Congress. Tim Russert, Lou wants to see you in his office. Now. He looks mad.
• Markos notes progressive values are mainstream values, and 69% of Americans say there should not be a pardon for Scooter Libby. Nice cake, Sue Ellen.
• Meanwhile, conservative ennui continues to grow. Poor babies. Love is all around, no need to waste it. Opportunity awaits in 2008.
• The state House of Representatives passed a bill allowing students options in addition to the WASL to graduate from high school. The state Senate passed a similar bill this evening. Group hug!
• The Army Surgeon General resigns in the continuing fallout over medical care for wounded soldiers. Nothing remotely funny about that story.

Finally, for Seattle residents, tomorrow is No and Hell No Election Day. Don't forget to drop off your ballot, or failing that, make sure it is postmarked tomorrow (March 13.) But really, wouldn't you rather just drop it off?

Two school measures, in the Highline and Skykomish districts, are on the ballot for those voters. For poll voters in those districts, you can check out information about accessible voting and ID requirements from King County Elections.

Stay classy, San Diego.
