|

– The Senate votes to give the FDA regulatory authority over tobacco. For more on the bill, including the advantages it gives Philip Morris and its peculiar censorship provision, see Jacob Sullum's column from earlier this week.

– Iran prepares to vote. If Mahmoud Ahmadinejad loses, some of his harshest western critics will be…disappointed.

– "The Obama administration has virtually abandoned plans to resettle in the United States some detainees from the military prison in Guantanamo Bay."

– Cable companies stop worrying and learn to love net neutrality.

– Coming at midnight: the great Facebook land rush.
