Okay, here’s what I do sometimes, especially surfing the internet very late at night. If I come across something of interest I’ll email myself the link and look for it in the email box the next day, especially if it’s a slow news day.
Welllllll, sometimes the next day news gets busy, and the self-sent email with story link sits … and sits in the in box. So, I’m sifting through my email to clear it out a bit and came across those ‘left behind’ story links. Here are a few you might want to catch up on (some maybe a couple days old, and some weeks or a month behind …).

Rasmussen Reports: 70% in Massachusetts Approve of Scott Brown’s Job Performance
Tuesday, March 09, 2010
Seventy percent (70%) of Massachusetts voters approve so far of new Republican Senator Scott Brown’s job performance, including 30% who Strongly Approve.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds only 26% who disapprove of the job he is doing, with 11% who Strongly Disapprove.
Brown won an upset victory in a special January 19 election to fill the Senate seat held for 47 years by the late Edward M. “Ted” Kennedy. He is the first Republican Massachusetts has sent to the Senate since 1972.

WASHINGTON – They flew planes during World War II but weren’t considered real military pilots. No flags were draped over their coffins when they died on duty. And when their service ended, they had to pay their own bus fare home.
These aviators—all women—got long-overdue recognition on Wednesday. They received the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian honor given by Congress, in a ceremony on Capitol Hill.
Eric Holder’s “Failure To Disclose” in Confirmation Process Is “Disappointing and Troubling”
NRO: ‘Acceptable’ Risk
Holder’s undisclosed Padilla connection.
Attorney General Eric Holder and others in the Obama administration have advocated trying Khalid Sheik Muhammed, and acquiring intelligence from Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, in the criminal-justice system. The protections afforded individuals in the criminal-justice system generally exceed those afforded in the military system, so one might think terrorists would be put at an advantage if they are treated as criminals rather than enemy combatants. But we must reject, the president has told us, “the false choice between our security and our ideals.”

2 Republican Senators Call on Obama to Stop ‘Attacks’ on Supreme Court
Two Republican senators on Wednesday called on President Obama to stop attacking the Supreme Court, lending support to Chief Justice John Roberts, who took umbrage at the president’s criticism of the court’s controversial campaign finance decision during his State of the Union address.
Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch told Fox News that he agrees with Roberts, who said Tuesday that Obama’s address was “very troubling” and that the annual State of the Union speech has “degenerated into a political pep rally.”
“Look, it was a political pep rally,” Hatch said. “I guess I’m tired of it myself, just bouncing up and down at whatever strikes you as interesting.

“24″: Jack Bauer and CTU Out of Bullets After This Season?

Tick, tick, tick, BONG!!!!

Studio and network execs declined comment — but it’s believed that the final decision will be made in the next day or two. Move is not a huge surprise, but still reps the end of an era for Fox.

Rep. John Conyers’s Wife Heading To Prison
Detroit Free Press: Monica Conyers gets 37 months in prison in Synagro bribery scandal
Former Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers was sentenced today to 37 months and two years supervised probation and no fine in the Synagro bribery scandal that rocked the city of Detroit.
The sentencing came even after Conyers several times told the judge that she wanted to withdraw her guilty plea.
The 37 months is the top of the sentencing guidelines recommended by the probation department. She has 10 days to appeal; otherwise, she’ll start serving on July 1.
U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn said that Conyers’ conduct in office “fell woefully short” of the standard expected of public servants, and that she violated basic standards of conduct going back to the book of Exodus.

Got “The Votes”? … Democrats: Yeah … No … Republicans: They’re Going To “Slaughter” It
The Hill: Disconnect: Gibbs, Hoyer dispute vote
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and the White House on Tuesday engaged in a rare public dispute over when healthcare reform will be voted on.
The clash comes as Democrats on both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue begin to count votes for a health reform bill that will be extremely challenging to pass.
Hoyer on Tuesday morning suggested the March 18 deadline recently set by White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was not endorsed by congressional leaders.
“None of us have mentioned the 18th other than Mr. Gibbs,” Hoyer told reporters when asked if March 18 was still a “viable” date for the House to vote on the Senate bill, a package of legislative fixes and a possible third item dealing with abortion language.
