  • Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) says it's "pretty difficult for Republicans to have a solid plan." Also Boehner can't commit to posting the GOP bill online so everyone can read it.
  • Internet father celebrates its 40th birthday and no it's not Al Gore.
  • Assistant South Carolina attorney general and former state representative Roland Corning was caught on his lunch break with a prostitute at a local cemetery. His SUV was found to contain condoms, Viagra and plenty of sex toys. Corning is 66 years old if you weren't already grossed out. Josh Marshall points out:
    Corning was an ardent pro-life politician best known for introducing a law in the South Carolina legislature that would have made the subdermal contraceptive device Norplant mandatory for women on welfare. Even then though he was no stranger to controversy. In 1994, during a floor debate with pro-choice state Rep. June Shissias, Corning asked Shissias whether she herself had ever had an abortion. Later he admitted the remark was 'probably insensitive' but said he was 'sick and tired of the women representatives in this body acting like, just because we're men and male, we don't know anything about women.
    Sounds all very moral values, Christian Conservative to me.
