"It's a good issue to keep alive. It's fun to poke at him," said Perry. [...] Perry said in the CNBC interview, "I'm really not worried about the president's birth certificate. It's fun to poke at him a little bit and say, how 'bout let's see your grades and your birth certificate." Perry's own transcript from Texas A&M University, obtained by The Huffington Post, shows that he seldom earned anything above a C and includes a D in Shakespeare and a C in gym.

Block, meanwhile, in addition to being Cain's campaign manager, is the former Wisconsin state director for Americans for Prosperity, the Koch Bros-backed astroturf organization that helped bankroll the tea party movement beginning in 2009. AFP poured half a million bucks into last summer's recall elections. And under Block's watch in 2010, the Wisconsin state chapter engaged in a short-lived voter suppression scheme targeting college students. Which shouldn't have been that surprising given his history: In 1997, as Alex Pappas notes, Block was banned from any political activities by the state of Wisconsin for three years and forced to pay a $15,000 fine for illegally coordinating with a purportedly independent, non-partisan get-out-the-vote drive to drum up support for his candidate, state supreme court judge Jon Wilcox.
House Republicans and Democrats on Tuesday managed to enjoy a rare moment of bipartisanship, but on a bill far less controversial that what usually gets them fighting — one that calls for a commemorative coin marking the upcoming 75th anniversary of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Tacky Diamond Trinket Junkie Callista Gingrich Spotted Lurking At Tiffany’s
Television images showed rescuers on Tuesday cradling a 2-week-old girl found alive in the rubble of a collapsed apartment building in Ercis; a 19-year-old in the town survived by using his cellphone to direct teams to the collapsed building where he had been trapped; and a man dug with his hands to free his fiancée from the rubble of a cafe.
I'm the daughter of one of the most long-standing senators in politics and I have been given every opportunity that anyone could possibly dream of. I was given those opportunities as a result of the hard work from both sides of my family. What struck me more than anything is that for the first time possibly in history, people aren't being given the same opportunities that my parents and grandparents had. It's impossible to overstate the shock to the system a realization like this has to someone in McCain's position. For the first time in history, people aren't being given the opportunity to be born the son of an admiral who commanded the Pacific fleet or the daughter of one of the richest men in Arizona. Let that sink in for a moment. ("I'm the daughter of one of the most long-standing senators in politics and I have been given every opportunity that anyone could possibly dream of" should be tattooed across her lower back. In fact it's the perfect new name for her Daily Beast column!)
