This appears to be a local issue, unrelated to the White House. Carry on. On a side note, though, good to know that we can discover, report, analyze, discuss, and mediate an entire scenario before the Traditional Media thinks to mention it. Original post below.

According to reports from NBC, shots were fired near the White House this evening.

From @tvnooz, Executive Producer of NBC4 in DC:

As I write this, I'm at a layover in the Birmingham Greyhound station, traveling from New Orleans to Pittsburgh. I'm making this 29 hour trip for one reason: to get back to Pennsylvania and vote. Every time a major election comes around, there is the standard request from all ends of the political spectrum to head out and vote. And yes, I do think that if you are capable to vote in this election you should. That said, I will commit the cardinal political sin and ask you to vote for the Democrats this year.

In light of the tremendous progress made tonight in terms of health care Reform, I think that there's one question we should ask:

It seems like now, more than ever, we should take a brief moment to reflect. We are mere hours from a monumental decision. It sounds odd, but that observation just sank in tonight for me. For months, nay, years, I've been eagerly following the political situation. The news, the candidates, the primaries - all of it has been whittled down to this. Now's as good a time as any to realize how we got here.

Here's mine:

The car's on fire. And there's no driver at the wheel.
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides. And a dark wind blows.
The government is corrupt. And we're all on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn.
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine. And the machine is bleeding to death.

EDIT: It is official: [link]

I should note that the HRC has been criticized in the past. It has been said that it has spent too much time on Israel and that it passed a resolution concerning the defamation of Islam.

With all of this criticism in hand, leaving the council altogether does nothing to fix it. Human Rights are certainly important and I hope that the council improves on its record, but this says little for our administration. Rather, it says things we already know.

UPDATE: Allow me to clarify that I do not fully agree with the HRC myself. Its ignoring of Darfur is particularly offensive. Nevertheless, I do not think that abandoning misguided programs will help unless an alternative is introduced. I doubt that the meaning of the withdrawal was meant to signify the creation of an improved council. Thus, I think it is fair to be angry at the act.

Today, Indiana and North Carolina went to the polls to decide who they feel is best equipped to be the nominee in the 2008 Election. However, there was some hesitation, but it only means good news for Democrats.

This morning, I checked the balance on my checking account. It read, in that cold yellow, "$9.62". I knew it was going to be low. I've already accepted that. College ain't cheap and neither is food. But, I did something with that $9.62.

So, this is my first diary. I've been lurking for some time, without actually joining. I've been here before bitter, before Olbermann joined, before Obama decided to run, before the surge, before the 2006 election. Still, I didn't say anything. I was satisfied to simply read. I didn't necessarily need to contribute - it was primarily a way to stay informed rather than to amend the information. No longer.
