By GottaLaff

I'm not sure how much more good news I can take today (both of these Quickies are from Roll Call, subscription only):

Progressives Pleased After Obama Meeting

House liberals got their day in the sun with President Barack Obama, who on Tuesday sat down with nearly the entire 77-member Congressional Progressive Caucus to hear their concerns on two key issues: health care reform and war funding.

Conyers, Nadler Ask Holder to Name Counsel on Torture

House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) along with other Democrats on his committee are asking Attorney General Eric Holder to name a special counsel to investigate and prosecute torture of detainees by the Bush administration.

Those were today's Quickies. Were they good for you?
