With gas prices creeping up to inflation-adjusted record levels, the San Francisco Chronicle reports Americans are still buying SUVs.
John Aravosis at Americablog puts Democrats in Congress on notice that the netroots aren't going to accept an Iraq funding bill with no strings attached.

The Washington Post's Jim Hoagland speculates that President Bush's "plan B" for Iraq may be an attack on Iran-- Think Progress has links. But another London paper, The Guardian, says it's Iran that's plotting an offensive against the U.S. in Iraq.
And Will Bunch is disturbed by the argument for war with Iran in a new best-seller.
Andrew Sullivan picks up on an LA Times story from the weekend that says the war in Iraq is benefiting al-Qaida.
Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarters blogs about immigration reform under the heading: "Everybody Hates the Compromise."
