[New York Post] * Kentucky elected its first African American attorney general last night. [The Hill] * The Supreme Court yesterday seemed to frown upon North Carolina's use of copyrighted images of a pirate ship that sunk off its shores. If you want to see good images of a pirate ship, there's a ride you should check out... [USA Today]
