Bars in Tennessee and Texas have begun boycotting Russian vodka in response to Russia’s invasion, and now-annexation, of Ukraine’s Crimea region. A similar boycott of Russian vodka last year, primarily focused on superstar-brand Stolichnaya, is credited for bringing worldwide attention and condemnation to Russia’s draconian crackdown on its gay and trans citizens.

Most recently, a Breitbart writeup of Obama’s 2014 picks ends with a textbook example of the kind of disingenuous scolding that’s defined conservatives’ jabs at the Obama brackets. “Pieces of Ukraine are falling apart and the health care plan’s a mess,” Breitbart’s Daniel Flynn writes. “But we finally have a president who really knows basketball, and for the next three weeks that’s all that matters.

A Q score is a measure of brand familiarity. It essentially measures a celebrity's marketability. What this tweet is saying is 'your outrage makes me more famous and my fame keeps me employed.' Jenny McCarthy is famous for telling parents not to vaccinate their kids. This is not only awful advice, it's dangerous advice, too.

Oklahoma announced Tuesday that it was delaying two upcoming executions after it failed last week to get two of the three drugs it planned to use to execute a pair of death row inmates. In a brief filed Monday with the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, the state’s assistant attorney general said Oklahoma does not have supplies of pentobarbital and vecuronium bromide. [...] States around the country are struggling to administer lethal injection death sentences after a number of pharmaceutical companies have denied them drugs. Many states have turned to unregulated compounding pharmacies, which has triggered a series of lawsuits from inmates. Because many corrections departments have tried to keep compounded pharmacies’ identities anonymous, death row inmates argue that without knowing where execution drugs are produced, it’s impossible to know if they’re manufactured in a way that would produce a humane execution and therefore be constitutional.

A federal judge on Tuesday signaled that he is growing increasingly frustrated with the voluminous and at times rancorous filings by defense attorneys representing former Virginia governor Robert F. McDonnell (R) and his wife in a corruption case, dismissing one of their recent requests as “dancing through fantasy land” and asking them and prosecutors to limit their written disputes “for the sanctity of the trees.”
