Tuesday Open Thread

From OpenLeft:

Tom Brokaw claims that Obama has 50 superdelegates in waiting who will announce their support soon. If true, it would wipe away Clinton’s superdelegate advantage entirely, and give Obama the delegate lead even with Michigan and Florida included.

At Chambishi copper mine in Zambia (where China is now the biggest investor and buyer in mining copper) angry Zambian workers attacked their Chinese managers, throwing stones and setting fires and sending one man to the hospital. Zambians are angry about their country’s exploitation by China, including the poor working conditions experienced by most miners.

The “debate” is no longer a debate…why a chilly January does not discredit global warming, and why “skeptics” and “deniers” need once and for all to be labeled “disinformers.”

Anything to share?

Just cast my vote for Obama. Based on my own preliminary exit polling (myself and two others), he’s won 100% of the vote so far.

Anyone following the FISA bill anymore? I haven’t noticed any articles here or anywhere else lately. (Maybe I’ve just overlooked them.) I fear the issue is nearing page A-11 of the papers. Which, as we all know, means the ever-evil band of ‘they’ can finally go ahead and finish off any hope for justice or truth to emerge from this administration. Because it’s “over-reported” and “no longer news worthy.”
