Sorry I have been delinquent in the news folks, my job has been rather hectic for the last week. Rather than just ignore you all, I thought a quickly abbreviated roundup of today’s top news. Hopefully I will soon be able to return to putting the news into a little bit of context.
- Detroit Automakers are making increasingly desperate appeals to Congress for bailout money, while dreamiest Republican candidate ever Mitt Romney says let them go bankrupt.
- Somali pirates are netting increasingly larger prizes, but the jig is up for legislative pirate Senator Ted Stevens, who lost his seat in the Senate during a recount.
- The Obama transition has leaked the name of the new Attorney General and all I know is what Wonkette tells me: he looks like Lando Calrissian.
