For a guy who keeps insisting he has no interest in being vice president, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio appears to be feverishly positioning himself for the job.
"We want our freedom back," former GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain told hundreds of ralliers standing in the rain in Upper Senate Park, a few hundred yards from the steps of the Supreme Court. "That's what this is about, the freedom to choose our own doctors … the freedom to choose our own health insurance plan."
On Wednesday night, Reid had nothing but warm fuzzies for his counterpart in the minority. All that sparring with McConnell on the Senate floor isn’t what it seems, Reid, a boxer back in the day, insisted. “We are friends. We do things for each other,” Reid told a crowd ... "And we’re working on that in our own way.” But in a story today by Manu Raju about McConnell gunning for Reid’s job, Reid’s office was back to a much more familiar tune. “Unfortunately for the American people and those Republicans still interested in bipartisanship,” Reid’s spokesman, Adam Jentleson, said, “Sen. McConnell has proven far more interested in promoting his personal political ambitions than working across the aisle to create jobs.”

After Fox News contributor Geraldo Rivera was pilloried Friday for saying that black and Latino kids are basically asking to get shot if they go outside wearing a hooded sweatshirt, BuzzFeed jokingly noted that FoxNews.com sells branded hoodies. But after their report went up, Fox apparently removed the hoodies from their online store. A search for “sweatshirt” and “hood” returns zero results.
With the emergence of warm spring weather comes the return of the Mexican Freetail bats under Congress Bridge and the remote possibility that a feared and foreign species of bat could make its way into Texas. The increase in global climate temperatures has raised concerns about the vampire bat species travelling from Mexico and South and Central America into the southern and central regions of Texas.

Organizers of an annual Easter egg hunt attended by hundreds of children have canceled this year's event, citing the behavior of aggressive parents who swarmed into the tiny park last year, determined that their kids get an egg. That hunt was over in seconds, to the consternation of egg-less tots and their own parents. Too many parents had jumped a rope set up to allow only children into Bancroft Park in a historic area of Colorado Springs.

A high school student recently posted over 600 Twitter messages in an attempt to get a porn star — almost any female porn star, really — to be his prom date. He got lucky and found one who'd happily attend the dance with him, but then his school's administration banned the adult entertainer from the venue. Now the young man and his date are taking to Twitter together, this time in an attempt to arrange an alternate (and more open-minded) prom.
