++Yesterday produced more political cartoons than I've seen on any political issue in a long time.
++This morning's New York Times editorial rips Republican idiocy and singles out John McCain for going for this stunt.
++Just pick the newspaper of your choice for the attack closest to you. I pick the Newark Star-Ledger which went after Tom Cotton as a poster boy for neo-conservatives. Another reader choose Utah where the press eviscerated Senators Hatch and Lee and included Lee Fang's not that Cotton attended an off-the -record, private meeting of the National defense Industrial Association.
++The Ayatollah Khamenei came out saying the letter was a sign of America disintegrating.
++The other top story from the Guardian to the Times of Israel is that ,yes, it does look like Bibi may lose. Likud leadership is warning their members this may happen. And it's not simply scaring your followers to get out the vote. Josh Marshall notices this in this morning's Talking Points.
++Did you see Rand Paul at the Kerry hearing? Rand said that the letter should have been addressed to President Obama. Paul went on about the President not having the authorization to use military force against ISIS.
++Rachel Maddow raised this issue in the summer. But our congress critters went on vacation and said they would get around to it. Now that the Obama Administration has submitted one,Senator Corker is arguing that the Democrats oppose the wording the Administration submitted. Fine then Congress should work out their own. But that's not the tactic the Republicans are using.
++So John Kerry says then no AUMF is better than one without support. I disagree. President Obama tried to get Congress to approve airstrikes against Syria and they balked. It's time Congress actually do its duty rather than write letters to foreign leaders .
