Biden In For Bumpy Ride?

In Sunday’s News Journal, there’s an article about Beau Biden and the possibility of him running. The article is tilted, “Senate run could distract Biden”. Now, I normally like Esteban Para’s writing, but not this time.

…and shows themselves to not be paying attention to one of the biggest legislative efforts of a lifetime.

Today The Editors (a term probably more symbolic than a reflection of the actual work being done) published an editorial in which they intone with all seriousness — Health plan will cost money: It’s time Washington admits it.

The Amtrak Bear Car Shops took time out to celebrate the completion of the first passenger car to be rebuilt with stimulus funds.
