Berger Brouhaha --
Interesting item from Josh Marshall re: Berger's illegal retention of copies of secure documents and notes he used for testimony to the 9/11 commission. Seems the FBI has known about it for MONTHS, and the news was just conveniently leaked this week.

A lot of people fear that Ohio will be the Florida of 2004 --
and here's another reason to be worried.

The Incredible Shrinking Paycheck --
I missed this item Sunday. While the prez is out touting the booming economy (ie, the economy that regained a small fraction of the jobs he lost so far), the NYT gives a snippet of real life (via Ruy Teixeira): real wages are not keeping up with inflation. And it's pretty much an employer's market; that NYT story mentions 600-700 people showing up to apply for 70-80 restaurant jobs. Where's the incentive to provide competitive wages?

Kinda funny -- Except that I can't get the refrain out of my head.
