Hijinks Ensue  —  Twitter informs me that a friend—whose name I'll omit for the moment—just got arrested at a little dance party some libertarians were holding at the Jefferson Memorial (which, apparently, is open to the public 24/7).  I'm not entirely clear on what the charge could have been …

Andrew Sullivan / The Daily Dish:
Will Clinton Over-Reach?  —  The “bitter” spat is gold for Morris-Rove politics, which is why Clinton is exploiting it so baldly.  It is exactly the kind of debate that has constructed American politics since Vietnam; it is exactly the kind of politics that Obama has been trying to transcend.
