TGIF! Here are some political stories that are worth your attention as we head into the weekend.
From The New York Times Magazine: An incredible analysis of the Obama Administration and its relationship with Congress, especially important given the impending battle for health care.
From the BBC: The Iranian presidential campaign reaches its climax today. Hanging in the balance are a crucial relationship between the U.S. and the undisputed power of the Persian Gulf (thanks to us knocking off the other two).

From the Daily Show: Jon Stewart’s team demonstrates the irrelevance and out-dated nature of print newspapers like the New York Times.
From Politico: Sarah Palin defends flight attendants during her ongoing spat with David Letterman – because doing battle with a late night comedian is the best way to rebuild your image as a serious national leader – just ask Jim Cramer.
