Even more Wednesday links.
* Not just talk: Reid and Schumer will introduce legislation to yank the health insurance industry's antitrust exemption.
* Conflicts of interest we can believe in: Hank Paulson. The original version of this post, which was up for about two minutes, confused Paulson with Timothy Geithner, who I also don't like, but who I guess is a step up.
* Among other things, this YouTube video of a Normandy Beach veteran speaking about marriage equality speaks to the (often underutilized) power of American exceptionalism in the service of progressive political causes. It's quite moving.
* 'Papers reveal Gabriel Garcia Marquez was under Mexican surveillance for years.'
* Duke Plans To Become ‘Climate Neutral’ By 2024.
* And Maureen Ryan at the Chicago Tribune says the next two weeks of Dollhouse will not disappoint. I've been pretty disappointed all season, so I hope she's right.
