I guess if you’re a Republican infrastructure is great, as long as it’s in Iraq or Libya. Talking Points Memo: So it came as a bit of a surprise to hear a GOP senator who’s up for re-election this cycle say on Fox News, ” We can go over there and help them build their infrastructure up. ” That’s Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). He wasn’t talking about a forlorn corner of the United States, though. He was talking about Libya. And the ‘infrastructure’ he was talking about didn’t really include schools and bridges. “One of the problems I have from leading from behind is when a day like this comes we don’t have the infrastructure in place that we could have,” Graham explained. Here he’s talking about the metaphorical infrastructure of U.S. forces and appointees on the ground who can help direct events. However, he soon moved on to talking about another type of infrastructure — the kind that helps with extracting oil. Republicans make me sick. I don’t really even have anything more than that to add.

This prompted Huntsman to reply, simply, “Thank you.” The Hardball anchor knocked Michele Bachmann as “looney tunes” and wondered how Huntsman could “sit next to a person who says there shouldn't be any taxes and have a reasonable conversation with her?”

Moving things over to the big screen could make the exchange much more comfortable for everyone involved — you just need an HDTV, and a Biscotti. The small black box should be ready to turn the biggest screen in your home into a high definition video phone fairly soon, having just landed in the FCC’s living room. Packed inside is a camera, microphone and 802.11b/g/n WiFi — plug the contraption into your TV and you can instantly make calls to family and friends, with no monthly charges. A pair of HDMI ports let the device serve as a bridge between your television and cable box, so folks with limited connections don’t have to choose between Dad and Mr. Mom . Biscotti will also interact with computers, tablets and smartphones via an as-yet unnamed “video player” to bring life-sized video chat to the masses. There’s no word yet on pricing or availability, but if the FCC has finished nibbling at it, then it shouldn’t be long before we get a taste ourselves.
