Odds and Ends

I leave for vacation soon. So it's gonna be a busy week. Here's some random news...

Sen. Obama basically tells Hillary Clinton and John Edwards to get over themselves, refusing to join their calls to wittle down the debate participants to the front-runners. "I don't know how you'd draw the line to say some can participate and some can't," he said.

President Bush hates children. Or, at least, that's my interpretation of this story: "The White House said on Saturday that President Bush would veto a bipartisan plan to expand the Children’s Health Insurance Program, drafted over the last six months by senior members of the Senate Finance Committee."

Meanwhile, Democrats find themselves struggling on what changes to make to the farm bill.

Finally, the President announces a Mideast peace conference to occur this Fall.
