Here's the news that seems to be causing issues today.
Healthcare:_____________________________________________________________________
"It's no secret that lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have been gauging how Sen. Edward Kennedy's death affects the health care debate.
But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid gave an unusually blunt assessment in an interview with a local newspaper.
"I think it's going to help us," the Nevada Democrat told the Reno Gazette-Journal.
...Reid made his comments Friday, the day before Kennedy was buried. He offered two reasons for the assessement. One, Kennedy's death clears the way for a new chairman on the Senate health committee. Two, Kennedy serves as an inspiration.
..."He hasn't been around for some time. We're going to have a new chairman of that committee. It'll be, I don't know for sure, but I think Sen. (Chris) Dodd," Reid told the news paper. "He has a right to take it. Either him or (U.S. Sen. Tom) Harkin, whichever one wants it can have it. I think he (Kennedy) will be a help. He's an inspiration for us. That was the issue of his life and he didn't get it done." -- Fox News
"Congresswoman Watson heaped praise on Cuba’s health care. Not stopping at admiring a system where access to simple everyday medications is often an epic struggle, Congresswoman Watson went on to extol Cuba’s former dictator Fidel Castro, a man who has murdered, tortured and exiled his own countrymen as "one of the brightest leaders I have ever met". It is no surprise that journalists and citizens alike have responded the Congresswoman’s remarks with shock and trepidation." -- www.speroforum.com
"WASHINGTON -- A top White House adviser said Tuesday he doubts two Senate Republicans at the center of health-care talks are negotiating seriously, as Democrats adopted a new, more confrontational tone accusing key Republicans of blocking change.
Senior adviser David Axelrod, responding to recent broadsides against Democratic health plans by Republican Sens. Mike Enzi of Wyoming and Chuck Grassley of Iowa, said Democrats would reach out to other Republicans to finish a deal this year. He added that President Barack Obama is considering laying out a more detailed vision of what he wants in a health-overhaul plan." -- Fox News
Education:_____________________________________________________________________
"Let those of us who are gathered here today read this poem as “The Teacher’s Obligation.” We, too, must move in and out of windows, we, too, must build a project of radical imagination and fundamental change. Venezuela is poised to offer the world a new model of education– a humanizing and revolutionary model whose twin missions are enlightenment and liberation. This World Education Forum provides us a unique opportunity to develop and share the lessons and challenges of this profound educational project that is the Bolivarian Revolution.
Viva Mission Sucre!
Viva Presidente Chavez!
Viva La Revolucion Bolivariana!
Hasta La Victoria Siempre!" -- Posted in: Bill Ayers, Education, -- MichelleMalkin.com

U.S. Ranks 38th.
One of the "duh" comments of the day that I've read is as follows...
The Israeli Foreign Minister says that Israel does not intend to bomb Iran but add that "The whole world should understand that Iran's entrance into the nuclear club...is a threat to the entire world order." Read Source Here
The only actually interesting, yet not surprising, component of this statement is, notice that they mention the "world order". If you are following such things, that specific component of the statement probably stands out. Otherwise, I just have to say "duh!" and "no kidding!".
Also, as you may already know, Obama is in Egypt today and is going to speak at the University of Cairo. He seems to somewhat be leeching off of Biden, so let's hope he doesn't say anything like he said on French TV about the U.S. being "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world." Why? Because the U.S. actually ranks about 38th. This administration seems to be helping our country succeed in one focused area. What is that area? They are making us look ignorant, like our under budget educational system started to fail when Biden and Obama were in it. Thanks a million to this administration for proving that our educational system was failing at least 40-50 years ago.
