A few quick things

Christians who got in bed with Republicans are waking up with torturers. Some are not pleased. Let's hope we hear more from them.

Smoking pot didn't harm Swiss teenagers in a recent study, but only if they didn't use pot and tobacco:

The study did not confirm the hypothesis that those who abstained from marijuana and tobacco functioned better overall, the authors said.

In fact, those who used only marijuana were "more socially driven ... significantly more likely to practice sports and they have a better relationship with their peers" than abstainers, it said.

Bush may suffer his first veto override on a water infrastructure bill. Even Republicans don't want to get flooded.

Ron Paul is getting hoards of cash, and Glenn Greenwald asks why this isn't a bigger story. Kos admires the Paul campaign, and wishes it was a Democrat rather than a Republican "and a crazy one at that" doing all this people-powered stuff.

Democrats did pretty well in elections last night. Immigrant bashing didn't work for the GOP (and it helps seal their demographic doom. And it's wrong.). Some Democrats are still worried that the issues surrounding immigration will hurt them, though.
