No Quarter
President Obama began what may be his final push to win enactment of a health care overhaul, laying out a legislative blueprint on Monday that seeks to unify House and Senate Democrats but makes no big new concessions to Republicans. (NYT, 2/22/10)
It’s now become a bit of a tired cliché, but it still works here. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

A senior Iranian official said on Monday that his country planned to build 10 more nuclear enrichment plants — two of them within the next year — and had identified “close to” 20 sites for such facilities. (NYT, 2/22/10)

Classy. (Kelley Currie, Weekly Standard, 2/20/10)
