Rumblings: Thievy Thievy!
>>> Opening statements in Vince Fumo’s trial started this morning. Our new theory is that Other People’s Money is our money, so can you lend us money to cover what’s sure to be a World Series-sized bar tab tonight? We promise Other People will pay you back. [Philly.com live blog]
>>>We don’t know how she does it! Governing an oil-rich state, supporting a snowmobile-racing husband, and educating her daughters about women’s leadership! Wait, we DO know! By golly, it’s taxpayer money! [AP/Yahoo News]
>>>And back to the Great White North: Alaska Senator Ted Stevens‘s jury started deliberating whether he lied on Senate disclosure forms.
