This Is Why They Are Called ‘Wingnuts’
Blue Fields of Indiana pointed me to this little ditty about a man who is suspected of going on a rampage killing two people and critically wounded three others in Florida.

Jindal Implodes
First we learned that Jindal’s I was one of Katrina’s heros story was a sham, and now there’s this.

CR: Gregg’s Real Reason Not Helping America
Unstable Isotope tipped us off to this bit of news: President Barack Obama’s former nominee to become commerce secretary, Sen.

Deep Governing Thought
If Republicans put half the creativity and energy into governing that they put into Machiavellian politicking, we’d all be in trouble.
Deep Media Thought
Web/shmeb. Newspapers would not be dying if they simply did their e’ffing job over the past 10 years. There is still an audience for actual reporting. For lazy PR operations that endlessly shill for craven politicians and the highest bidding corporations?……not so much.
