In a week that included Dennis Kucinich calling for impeachment, Michelle Bachmann declaring for president, and Newt Gingrich flipping on Libya so much he may as well have performed the Triple Lindy, you know an article has to be stupid in order to get me to post about it.

Politico to the rescue.

So, there's a 20 point gap between Obama's "handling of Libya" and support for a NFZ. I guess we now know what percentage of people have their opinions influenced by a muddled media narrative.

My weekend has thus far consisted of very little in the way of news digestion. With it being the opening weekend of the NCAA Basketball Tournament, and me living in a basketball-crazy state, well… it’s just all I’ve been doing the last three days. But I just wanted to give what may be the best example I’ve found yet of how the sources of our information continue to be accomplices in our gradual stupefying as a nation.

I'm always impressed (and yes, a little surprised) when polling finds the American people arriving at a reasonable, logical middle ground. The situation in Libya is certainly one that transcends public opinion, but it needs to be handled by America in a way that's amenable to the American people as well as the Libyan people.

As for the opening, I apologize in advance. It's been a rough week for liberals who've lost the taste for blood. Or, just me. Either way, be gentle...

It's hard to see how this is a political winner for Republicans. Maybe if they had done it the first or second day the Democrats were gone... just doesn't make sense considering what we know about public opinion on this.

Predictably, since I wrote this earlier today, just about every right wing blog has cranked out some variation on the "Obama's unpopular, we swear! And here's the proof" theme that Hot Air set early on.

It's probably insignificant in the big scheme of things, but I mean, damn... if you want to make a point about Obama's popularity, come at your readers with something more than "fewer high schools applied to him to speak there this year."

Besides, are politically apathetic teenagers really something that should be applauded? Shouldn't we be encouraging our kids to WANT to see the president? I would have had George H.W. Bush when I graduated high school, but I STILL would have thought that was cool. And I seriously doubt he would have been able to indoctrinate me.

I'm not sure what's worse, the fact Politico's trying to fan the embers of a Donald Trump for President campaign, or the lengths they go through to try to show him with good numbers.

Does everyone agree a government shutdown would suck? I guess I should have prefaced my original post with that question, since I still think it's up in the air, frankly. But it seems like both sides are starting to realize it may not be a great idea, but when you're starting from a point where a) the differences are deeply ideological, not only political; and b) one side has taken everything off the table but YOUR food, how is this possibly going to get anywhere?
