Another brief hiatus

Hope everyone enjoyed Memorial Day weekend. Unfortunately, Carpetbagger will be on a brief hiatus for the next two days, but will return Thursday with lots of new posts for your reading pleasure.

As for today, there are a number of things I would have written about, but instead will just beg you to check out on your own:

* The always-brilliant Paul Krugman has a terrific column today about Bush’s tax cut

* Josh Marshall has some great updates on the ongoing fiasco in Texas

* Dan Kennedy has a must-read essay on the GOP “attack machine” that I think you’ll all really enjoy

* And if you have time, be sure to check out what conservatives really think about “bipartisanship” and the importance of “changing the tone” in Washington
