On Fox News this Morning Juan Williams was showing that he is not totally a mouthpiece for the White House - he was actually using language like tax cuts for the wealthy. And there was someone on the panel who said no, this won't stop Congress from making the tax cuts permanent. In addition, something I had heard reference to before - the Republican leadership tried to repeal the Estate Tax on Tuesday, while the government was doing nothing for the people hit by the hurricane.

Elsewhere - Soledad O'Brien wanders a totally empty New Orleans. Empty of the living, at least. The dead bodies still lie there, covered with blankets.
