From ESPN: Power in Washington, DC is judged on the court.

From Politico: Congress sets records.  Not in a good way.

From the Internet: Congressman Pete Hoekstra makes a grave mistake in tweeting an easily-mockable comparison between brutal Iranian censorship and Democrats’ opposition to offshore drilling last year.  He pays the price.

From the Washington Post: Senator Ensign’s interns flee to the hills.  Probably because their boss skipped the annual baseball game.
