Quick hits

• Check snopes.com: Sen. Hillary Clinton talked frogs last week to make a point about President Bush’s energy policy: “You all know how to boil a frog, don’t you?” she asked folks in Mississippi and Wyoming. “You know, you drop a frog in hot water, it jumps right out. But you put it in cold water and you turn up the heat, pretty soon you got a boiled frog.” Trouble is, the boiled frog analogy is just urban legend.
