Thursday Night Open Thread

By Jeralyn

Some late afternoon news and then Big Brother:

• Cass Sunstein confirmed as head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,

• Harry Reid says co-ops could be as effective as a public option.

• Sen. Orrin Hatch says most Republican senators won't vote for Baucus health care plan.

Big Brother 11 is down to the final three: Kevin, Natalie and Jordan. Kevin won Tuesday's competition so tonight there will be a live competition tonight between Natalie and Jordan. They are all lying to each other about their alliances. I don't think anyone goes home tonight.

Next week, (9/15)the one in third place is evicted and then the jury (comprised of the last previously evicted contestants) votes for the winner. (Or something like that.) None of them belong in the final three, but Natalie is the worst. Kevin has lied a lot and Jordan is the nicest, but she hasn't won anything all season and isn't the brightest. It would have been much more interesting had Jesse, Russell, Michelle and/or Jeff made the finals. All told, I hope Jordan wins, but I'm okay if Kevin wins. If Natalie wins, it's a sign the show needs to do some serious re-tooling next year (It's already been renewed.)

This is an open thread, all topics welcome.
