Obama has announced support for India to join the UN Security Council as a permanent member. Indian reactions appear to vary from "Yay!" to "Meh." They're already hugely influential in the G-20 and have pretty realistic qualms about the continued relevancy of the UN. Personally, I think the permanent make up of the Security Council is pretty archaic. It's basically just a hodgepodge of whoever fought the Axis close to a century ago.
Looks like Olberman will be back on the air on Tuesday. It's pretty sad that Leftists are celebrating this as MSNBC "folding". Frankly, I'd expect better from them than joy at the prospect of a resumption of clearly heavily biased reporting.

Yep. That's pretty much exactly what the government is arguing. My own thoughts here and here.
Here's what your great, great, infinitely great grand-parents were doing when they weren't being magically produced from mud by some sort of Sky King/Burning Bush creature.
Sorry, that was a little snarky. I apologize.
In order to make amends, here's Andre the Giants mug shot.
I wondered why everyone was so jumpy down at the retirement home. Oh well. At least she's keeping active.
And finally...
This might be the better mousetrap.
