What I’m reading for 4.27.10

Sen. Kerry: Still pushing forward on climate bill.
“We’re still pushing, we’re still talking, we’re still fighting, it’s very much alive – and I won’t quit until they’re high-fiving on Main Street America not Beijing, Tehran, or Caracas.”

Despite calls for immigration reform, some in the Senate are hesitant.
According to the Washington Post, unnamed Senate aides are pushing back against immigration reform. According to one aide, “We don’t even have a bill yet.” Some argue immigration reform led to climate talks falling apart.

Eliot Spitzer asks: Do investment banks do anything that helps America anymore?
While some are suggesting Spitzer will challenge Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, he seems to be playing the role of potential candidate quite well. He’s been working hard to polish his image and go after the man. Spitzer’s recent piece at Slate likens Goldman Sachs to a “casino” and asks whether or not investment banks any longer perform “economically useful functions.”

Lastly, it seems Pat Buchanan has once again flown off the handle. He claims that without immigration reform, the United States risks being broken into a set of ethnic enclaves. Ok Pat, how’s this for a set of enclaves? Several groups, including the city of San Francisco, are calling for economic sanctions against the state of Arizona. It seems Pat, that the Arizona immigration law has in fact, turned the state into an enclave. Good one.
