Sure happy it's Thursday, early March edition

It must be lunchtime:

• Josh Marshall takes a hard look at why ships don't want to traverse the Strait of Hormuz.
• Fully 97% of the 35,000 public comments submitted to the National Capitol Planning Commission about the OAFPOTUS's ballroom are negative.
• Speaking of planning, or lack thereof, Jeff Maurer quotes Jurassic Park to explain how we have no idea what will happen in Iran, but it probably won't be good for us.

Finally, Jaci Clement at the Fair Media Council has some quick tips on how to evaluate a news article in less than 10 seconds. For instance: "First name + last initial byline? Skip it. Credible journalism requires accountability."

Enjoy your Thursday. Tomorrow, Chicago could hit 22°C. Won't that be nice.
