Morning Cuppa…

Morning gang — woke up late this morning, so I’m leaving this as a news discussion thread until I get back from the preschool drop-off.  In the meantime, Yglesias by way of Digby: should we or should we not torture has become a legitimate topic of discussion, because the Bush Administration has so eroded basic values and decency on their watch.  Discuss.

What is catching your eye in the news and on the blogs this morning?

UPDATE:  It’s time for a morning helping of “why I love David E.” — or how the phrase “tearoom trade” was the forerunner of “restroom leg syndrome.”  Do give this a read — you’ll be glad you did.
