- One of the FDA's potential cigarette packages
>> President Obama previously announced July 2011 as the month when American troops would begin to withdrawal from Afghanistan, but apparently the Taliban heard that message too. So the White House has changed its message, now saying that the U.S. "would be fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan for at least four more years." Breaking up is hard to do. (the New York Times)
>> Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and founder of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus dropped out of the race for House Republican Conference chair today in a sign that Republicans are still not ready to embrace the Tea Party. Democrats aren't either. Some common ground? (Politico, Sun Times)
>> The FDA has come up with 36 potential anti-smoking images that will cover half of the front of cigarette packaging starting next year, as put into law last June. Images include cancer patients on hospital beds and a smoker with a hole in his throat. Mmmm sexxxy. (the Examiner)
>> And finally: The FCC is investigating if Google "broke federal laws when its street-mapping service collected consumers' personal information" after the Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a complaint in May. But wait— the Google Street View car busted a heroin ring in Brooklyn yesterday. You can't have it both ways, America. (the Wall Street Journal, NBC)
