Quick hit before I get on the road: the choice of Ryan, flying in the face of any pivot-to-the-general strategy (and asinine because it centers on deeply unpopular policies & puts taxes and "entitlements" front & center) and providing invaluable "Thurston Howell / Eddie Munster 2012!" optics, reveals the degree to which Romney is owned by Koch Brothers .1 Per Centers. He's doing this not because it will win but because he was instructed--just as Sherman Adelson instructed him to say insane things about Palestine--by his corporate masters.

From where I'm sitting that is the best explanation--and Chicago will be able grind into their faces that this is bald-faced strapping-on-the-knee-pads by Boston in order to service the Oligarchs.

From the Belly of the Beast: first Alberto Gonzales hired for a one-year, $100,000 gig at Texas Tech. Now a county judge has decided that a racist poster in the County Court House, implying that all Obama supporters are criminals, is a way to "spark discussion."

There is opposition to the appointment of Alberto Gonzales as visiting professor (for a salary of $100,000) in the Department of Political Science at Texas Tech University. That opposition is internal as well as external. Texas--and Lubbock--and Texas Tech--are all places of far more diversity than the outside perspective might suggest. But, just as with the Bush Coup 2000, we on the inside need help from those outside: help us shine a light on this and help us prevent this appointment. See below.
