Shameless Stealing

This post by Greg Sargent is the funniest thing I’ve read all week.
How much longer will the rest of the world callously turn a blind eye to the epic suffering being endured by America’s persecuted minority of conservative personalities with millions of dollars and worshipful national followings?

WaPo Sells Access

Big story broken by Politico today. The Washington Post is offering lobbyists access to the powerful (for a small fee, of course):
For $25,000 to $250,000, The Washington Post is offering lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to “those powerful few” — Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and the paper’s own reporters and [...]
