Too Many to Choose

There is lots going on in the world today. 
  • Sonia Sotomayor was confirmed by the senate yesterday afternoon and will be the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice.  
  • Pakistan's Taliban chief, Baitullah Mehsud, is thought to be killed in an attack which also claimed his wife.
  • Filmmaker John Hughes dies at the age of 59. He is a sentimental favorite of mine- Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Sixteen Candles will always bring me back to my childhood. 
  • More attacks targeting Shiites in Iraq.  Over 36 people reported dead.
  • The Cash for Clunkers program gets $2 billion in new funding from Congress.
