Here’s a news bulletin from today:

HONOLULU (AP) — Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the U.S. is prepared to share some missile defense-related technology with China following the successful shootdown of a dying satellite.

In case there’s a few moments between arguments over whose universal healthcare plan is universal and who’s for ‘change’ more on ‘Day One,’ here’s a question for tonight’s Democratic presidential debate:

Is it really a good idea to teach China how to shoot down U.S. spy satellites?

Just asking.

By the way, here’s a video of the U.S. rocket launching and then hitting and exploding the falling U.S. spy satellite. Maybe we could just share this with the Chinese?
