Minvolved has some more on the end (?) of the Center of the American Experiment, including some pretty darned good questions, I think, about why it's gotten almost no coverage. Was this some sort of ideological civil war? Was it mere finances? What?

I find myself not chuckling during the Daily Show with Jon Stewart as much anymore; it tries too hard sometimes and some of the better folks have left the show. But presumably later on today they'll post the video of Ed Helm's piece with Paul Hackett, who was forced out of the race by his own party. It's funny, yes, and a sad, sad commentary on the state of politics.

"It's a busy, unhappy budget week on Capitol Hill. At a time when Republicans are eager to prove their mettle on spending restraint, their deeds are falling far short of their election-year promises," says AP today.

Oh, and Norm Coleman doesn't like the White House team anymore. And I guess this was all before the Justice Department ralphed on the 9/11 terror trial.

Thank you sir. We were sitting on the IRS report, but it looks like Midday beat us to it. That IRS report is pretty interesting. My guess is that it has something to do with churches, but who knows...whatever it is, CAE falls under its scope.

We've filed a FOIA, but we probably won't hear a response for many a moon.
