Despite the fact that nobody on his staff knows how to hold a video camera steady, Tim Pawlenty, the Governor of Minnesota who managed to never get a majority of the vote in a state election and left us with a $5.2 billion deficit, seems to be running for President.

What if we could save more energy and lower the costs of home ownership, simply by constructing them in a smarter way? The Habitat for Humanity organization is doing just that when constructing their new projects.

Tim Pawlenty has made a serious attempt to ruin everything that's been so good about the state of Minnesota, and barely anyone on the national level has heard anything about it.

With the polls in the UK showing a three-way toss up for control of parliament, I think it's time to examine the race outside of the vacuum of UK politics and to explore whether or not this could be part of a larger trend.

I went on to the Huffington Post this morning and was obviously outraged when I read the headline, "Coal CEO Calls Mine Safety Rules 'As Silly As Global Warming'." I almost stopped there, and even told somebody about this outrageous statement.

The Republican primary in Kentucky is getting nasty. Ron Paul's son, Rand Paul, is getting hit by Trey Grayson, his opponent, over having "Strange Ideas" about 9/11. They compare him to his dad, and then compare him to JEREMIAH WRIGHT. While I can't believe that guy actually made an appearance in another campaign, it's a pretty out there line of attack. Let's see if it changes things in Kentucky.

Read the following headline, byline, and actual survey wording from Rasmussen's email digest today, and see if you spot the intentionally misleading differences:

It was inevitable that the health care debate was going to get very heated. However, some of the rhetoric during and after the debate, as well as the actions taken by some lunatics really grabbed my attention.

It's time for Congress to pass the health care bill. The votes will be there. They will fall in to place. I promise that there is no vulnerable Democrat in the House who will want to stand up and oppose health care after seeing what progressive groups are doing to do to Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas. If a group of Democrats is going to vote to stop health care reform, they may as well save their time, buy a shovel, and dig their own political grave.

Let me tell you the story of an election. A corrupt Harlem Congressman was unseated by a young reformer who wanted to change the way that his representative behaved and by promising a clean political break from the way his predecessor did things. He was a symbol of corruption and a stain on the neighborhood that he came from. This upstart young politician? Charlie Rangel, in 1971. The time has come for Democrats in Congress and back in Harlem to do what only a younger Rangel had the balls to do: Let a legend know when his time has come.

Last Wednesday, February 10th, the Senate blocked the (routine) nomination of Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board. Actually, the Senate voted in favor of him, 52-33, but due to arcane Senate rules that were established to make sure they never get anything done, he wasn't confirmed. While this vote, and the filibuster procedure in general, both bothered me, it was the response from the Republicans that made me ever more angry.

They finally got the memo: The people of the United States are not happy that Wall Street executives got bailed out by American taxpayers after their risky investments went sour. While people can argue about whether or not this was the right move to make (I personally believed that it gave our economy a much needed safety net from a pretty dangerous economic situation), but I don't think anyone doubts that both the Bush and Obama administrations acted out of necessity. There was an unfortunately legitimate claim made that if we let Wall Street fail, everything on Main Street would be next to come down.
