Wolfrum’s Morning: Remembering
By William K. Wolfrum on Mon, 05/30/2011 - 9:44am | Potpourri
Let us remember.
New
Memorial Day: David Blight takes a look at how it all started. Also, take a look at CNN’s Home & Away presentation.
Obama in Joplin: President amazed by destruction as death toll climbs to 142.
Afghanistan: Death. And NATO’s apologies.
Entertainment/Sports
Sean Kingston: Music stars give injured singer the good words.
Buckeyed: Jim Tressel sneaks away from the Ohio State football program.
Rampaged: Rampage Jackson beats Matt Hamill. Quite easily, actually.
Blogs
Oliver Willis: Guess who needs her hand for notes again? Go on, guess.
Steve Benen: Tim Pawlenty thinks Obama’s a “doofus?” How Presidential.
Hammer of Truth: Remembering all the fallen this Memorial Day.
Finally
Taking some time off pretending to be a presidential candidate, Sarah Palin pretends to be a biker.

Thanks for posting this. I had mentioned Blight's work in Ramon's blog. I hadn't seen the NYT today. (Hey it's a holiday).

Pawlenty evidently not ready for primetime. Of course, who among the GOP wannabes is? A year or so ago I thought Pawlenty might be the most likely GOP nominee.

Bachmann's sweet as candy
But Pawlenty is one fine stew!
Or
Bachmann's bonkers
But Pawlenty is plenty.
My state is nuts.

I thought Daniels or Portman were the ones to fear.

Daniels took himself out a couple of weeks ago.
I was thinking Pawlenty because he wasn't well known--generally a good thing for Republicans given that they are the US's leading FUBAR party and anyone winning that nomination with a chance to win the general has to construct themselves into shape and form hitherto unobserved and unknown in this universe.
Plus as a Governor people will think he knows how to run something even if he doesn't.
Really a bunch of complete jokers on that side.

Yes...but I'm thinking of the long lead up BEFORE he took himself out.
Zero charisma, but still a smart guy.
