Thursday Morning Links For Thee




I don't know about you guys, but yesterday just pumped me right up!! Let's get some more supers in the pocket and wrap this thing up.

Polar Bear Listed As Threatened Species The Administration's long-expected decision on whether polar bears are an endangered species seems to have done little to settle the underlying debate on climate change policy. ABC World News reported, "The federal government today listed polar bears as a threatened species because Arctic sea ice is melting away, due to global warming." But the Administration "argues the Endangered Species Act is not meant to combat global warming and that the listing does not require them to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."


WSJ: Obama's Strategy for Low-Turnout Caucuses Helps Drive Delegate EdgeFor evidence of the strategy that has made Barack Obama the likely Democratic presidential nominee, look at Nebraska, where the candidate narrowly won a little-noticed primary Tuesday. Sen. Obama's 49% to 46% victory barely got any attention from the campaigns or the press, because the state's delegates, who vote on the nomination, were chosen in a February caucus.


House Defies Bush, Passes Farm Bill In what's being portrayed as evidence of President Bush's waning influence, the Wall Street Journal reports the House yesterday "passed a $289 billion farm bill Wednesday by a veto-beating margin."
