Today on the Dish, Steve Benen, Jon Cohn, Jonathan Bernstein, Nate Silver, Greg Sargent, Brian Beutler, Ed Rendell, and David Plouffe wanted to pass the damn bill already. A reader dissented. Zakaria was also critical. Jill Dorson presented a terrible case for independent outcry as Andrew and two readers piled on. Meanwhile, we saw positive results from the stimulus.
If you missed the weekend coverage, we posted a wrap and Andrew's column. More images from Haiti here, here, here, here, here, and here. Tyler Cowen and Michael Clemens insisted that we let in more of the victims while Schimmelpfennig said not to return the favor. Heather Horn checked in on the failure to close Gitmo and Marc Lynch covered the bin Laden tape. An excellent blog fight over the Gitmo "suicides" here. More reax on the SCOTUS decision here. Prop 8 update here.
In other assorted coverage, Olbermann continued his campaign to become the next Michael Moore while the LG of SC stood by an awful metaphor. Andrew blogged about blogging while a Gizmodo reader chastised the Pope for his lack thereof. Another reader shared his experience with meth, Andrew and a reader responded to an earlier account of coping with meth, and two other readers divulged their experience coping with sexual abuse. And we pointed to a cool ad confronting another kind of abuse.
On a very different note: How about a view from your window, Mr President?
