Monday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Back in D.C. where we're under Code Orange because of the heat and unhealthy air.

Just saw John McCain being interviewed on the TODAY Show. He told us that he does know about the economy -- boasting of his tenure as Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. In fact, McCain chaired that committee from 1997- 2001, then 2003- 2005. One area of the committee's jurisdiction is "Science, engineering, and technology research and development and policy." So, McCain was in charge of the committee with jurisdiction over technology issues -- during a period of some amazing technological advances -- but he doesn't know how to get online. That's classic.

Okay, thread the news....
