Update (TL): If you haven't yet voted in Colorado's primary, it's too late to mail your ballot but you can drop it off. Find your location here for any county. I have endorsed Sen. Michael Bennet, and BTD says if he were voting in Colorado, he'd vote for him too.

8 days and no verdict in the trial of former Illiniois Governor Rod Blagojevich and his brother Rob.

Montana's medical marijuana has an unintended loophole -- you don't have to be a resident of the state to get one.

"The law is mute on the subject of legal residency and there is no recourse for the Department of Public Health and Human Services but to keep the situation as it stands," Council said. "On Monday, we will be moving forward, status quo, on the processing of out-of-state applications."

I still haven't seen the news today, but it's time for the finale of The Bachelorette. I'm going offline so I don't read the ending before it airs here. If you want spoilers, I have them galore over at Popleft. (Don't read if you don't want to know the likely ending.) I will say that Mike Fleiss & Co. did a masterful job this season of preventing anyone from being completely certain, despite the plentiful spoilers, until this weekend.

Update: Ali made a great choice, they seem really happy. I liked her better tonight than I did all season.

It's a busy day here, so I don't have time to blog about Chelsea Clinton's Saturday wedding (congrats, Chelsea), the no-fly zone over it or Obama not being invited, or tonight's premiere of Season Two of Jersey Shore (no, I won't be watching), whether Ali picked Chris or Roberto or no one (yes, I'm still following the spoilers), or the invitation I received by e-mail to Charlie Rangel's August 11 birthday celebration. (Here's the invite, it's for everyone, and yesterday Rangel tweeted it will be a "go" and there's no deal yet on his ethics charges.)
