On Puerto Rico Statehood

Go now and read Bride of Rove's post on Puerto Rico.  Mind blowing. 

And maybe you'd be interested in this from the WSJ:  the FDIC closed three banks in Puerto Rico today:

Three Puerto Rican banks were closed by regulators Friday, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. took receivership in one of the biggest single cleanups of failing banks in the current financial crisis.
The FDIC estimated the failures would cost its insurance fund $5.28 billion.

Here's what Heritage had to say.

But go read Bride first.  She rocks.
