According to Lynn Sweet, Gov. Quinn says “no reason not to” run for election in 2010. Awesomely, he flew coach to the National Governors’ Conference, and recycled his business cards by simply scratching out “Lieutenant” in his title.

Trouble in paradise: Cash-strapped tourists avoid Hawaii – USATODAY.com LAHAINA, Maui — Every winter, scores of humpback whales trade the Gulf of Alaska for a few months of breeding, birthing and basking in Hawaii — a follow-the-sun migration that fuels much of the tourism industry in this former 19th-century whaling town. But while the marine giants are returning right on schedule this year, their cash-strapped human admirers are not. And the effect of that absence is, “in a four-letter word, ugly,” says Bill Seidl, a boat captain who peddles whale-watch trips on the Lahaina waterfront. We seem to have fallen…

A huge sigh of relief went up as news commentators and pundits everywhere realized they wouldn’t have to try to pronounce or spell “Blagojevich” so much any more. Wow, what just happened? There was so much stuff going on this week, and I never really sat down in the evenings to sum up. Actually, the last two weeks have been pretty hectic, what with all the Washington hoopla last week, and the Springfield hoopla this week. The former was an occasion of great and redemptive joy, and the latter was an occasionally redemptive embarassment. Srsly, G-Rod? STHU! Although, I will…

The embattled and embarrasing Guv is making his way to Springfield. He left his house at 825am and was reportedly driving down, flying back. The House prosecutor arguing the case in the Illinois Senate begins his closing argument in a few minutes, at 10am. Blago will not even be there for it. How ballsy-rude is that? If he’s really driving all the way and not flying, he’s already more than an hour late. Here we go. Judge Fitzgerald will gavel the session to order after the invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance. Resolutions being offered. Chief Justice brings the Senate…

Governor Blalegovich made the rounds of many talk shows today; in fact, he went to eleven. The transcript of his appearance on Rachel Maddow’s show is already up, in advance. He has absolutely no idea she had him for lunch, and in fact she was in need of a toothpick and floss by the end. Transcript: Rod Blagojevich, one on one – Rachel Maddow show- msnbc.com BLAGOJEVICH: And it’s just so unfair to him, to hold him, somehow, responsible for allegations on me. He’ll be judged on his own record as senator. And I predict he’ll do a great job,…

Gov Hopalong #Blagojevich’s media appearances today: 11 Likelihood that he will run late: 98% due to incessant glad-handing Likelihood that Rachel Maddow will have him for lunch: 75% Blagojevich again blasted Illinois Senate rules that prohibit his calling certain witnesses and producing certain evidence. “Unlike Richard Nixon, who was dealing with issues of tapes, who didn’t want his tapes heard,” the governor said. “I want mine heard. I’d like the full story to be told. If the Senate would let me have evidence, I sure would like to be there so I could prove my innocence.” Here’s the governor’s schedule…

If you live in Centerville, Utah, why yes. Yes, they do: Police say a man’s gun fell out of its holster while he pulled up his pants after using the bathroom at a Carl’s Jr. restaurant Tuesday. The gun fired when it hit the floor and shattered the commode. Sure, hilarious. Man takes dump, holster in dropped trou has a fail, gun shoots crapper, and then you have water and poo and broken porcelain throne all over the floor. This photo, by the way, is a great perspective shot, and I hope the photographer washed his hands and clothes after…

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Israeli troops enter Gaza Strip Israeli ground troops have entered the Gaza Strip, Israeli military officials have confirmed, a week after the offensive against Hamas began. An Israeli military spokeswoman said the intention was to take control of areas from which Palestinian militants have been firing rockets into Israel. Witnesses say armoured vehicles crossed into northern Gaza at four separate points, supported by helicopters. In my opinion, not called for if you look at the proportionality of the conflict and the casualties. Not only that, but a family member is supposed to be flying…
