Ed Pilkington, Violent Video Games, and Oklahoma
TV networks and bloggers alike got some mileage out of the comments in a Goldman Sachs email that an investment was a "sh*tty deal," but Ed Pilkington of the British newspaper The Guardian thinks it's about time that U.S. politics got a little rougher, say, how they've been in the U.K. for a while now. But an import from U.S. electoral politics--a televised debate between the three main candidates for Prime Minister--has shaken up politics in the U.K. and rocketed a former Nation magazine intern, Liberal Democrat candidate Nick Clegg, to fame.

The F Word: Good Enough for Oklahoma, How About Goldman?
Democrats in D.C. are going about this regulation thing all wrong. Want to get Republican buy-in? Give Republicans the kind of regulation they like. As usual in U.S. politics, the states provide the road map.

Melissa Harris-Lacewell: We Don’t Have to Agree
Financial reform came up for a test vote this week in the Senate--and the Republican party (plus Ben Nelson) voted to filibuster the bill before even debating the subject. Will GOP political posturing continue to hold progress hostage? What's the point of being the Party of No, and will the Republicans' apparent decision to stick to that line finally push Obama to decide that there's no point in trying to win them over, and lead him to making progressive choices--for the Supreme Court, say?

US Health Bill Needs New House Vote
WASHINGTON - Republicans forced a new vote on fixes to historic US health care reform legislation by finding two procedural "violations," a spokesman for a top Democratic senator said Thursday.
"After hours of trying to find a way to block this, they (Republicans) found two relatively minor provisions that are violations of Senate procedure which means we're going to have to send it back to the House," Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, told AFP.
Lawmakers From Coal States Seek to Delay Emission Limits
Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, Democrat of West Virginia, said the Environmental Protection Agency should refrain from issuing any new rules on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and other major stationary sources for two years to allow Congress to pass comprehensive legislation on energy and climate change.
