Reconciliation
Today, I wrote about the weird reality of bipartisan legislation coexisting with partisan votes, fretted over Chris Dodd's FinReg bill, and pulled a reverse-Brooks on deem and pass.
Here's what I didn't get to:
1) Larry Lessig proposes a constitutional amendment to blunt the impact of Citizens United.
2) Pete Davis thinks the House will vote on health-care reform Saturday.
3) Michael Wolff's profile of The Washington Post.
4) Eliot Spitzer wants a shareholder revolution.
5) I'll be on Charlie Rose's and Rachel Maddow's shows tonight.

watching president obama disrespected on fox news, drives me crazy. he must be a boddhisatvha.
lawrence o'donnell asked "why did obama go on fox news?"
"because he is a bodhissatvha. how else could he have done it.

"The paper’s stars, Bob Kaiser, Bob Woodward, Sally Quinn, are all looking at 70."
Sally Quinn is a "star," who knew?

Ezra:
I love reading you and Steven Pearlstein but I must take issue with the Vanity Fair's fawning profile of the Post. I have read the Post since I was born and raised here in DC. They have declined in the quality especially in the editorials. Fred Hiatt has single handedly destroyed much of the Post's credibility. However, I shall remain reading you - I enjoy your comments.

Pete Davis' proposed Constitutional Amendment: "Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to restrict the power to limit, though not to ban, campaign expenditures of non-citizens of the United States during the last 60 days before an election."
My Constitutional Amendment: "No corporation or entity of any kind, other than human beings, shall be construed to have any rights whatsoever under this Constitution."

Really, Ezra, you're becoming the Village television circuit's liberal town bicycle. Every anchor wants a piece of you these days!
