  • Ha ha, I remember writing this about my son:

    Right now, he's a Republican.
    What's his is his, and he won't share.
    What's mine is his, because he "wants it".
    And if he gets angry and frustrated,
    He hits people, preemptively!

    He's now five and has evolved somewhat past this, developing a nice sense of empathy. But my 2-year-old daughter is VERY MUCH in her Republican phase. So the baton has been passed.

  • The author may be a jerk, but this mocking of the Arkansas Republican Party's efforts to find a candidate to take on Sen. Blanche Lincoln ain't half bad.
  • Draft Michelle Bachmann
  • John Boehner, boy genius.
  • More details on the new HELP health care reform package here and here. And Kay Hagan, a holdout on a public option, is now on board. Activism does work.
  • Tim F:

    It looks like Dan Froomkin got out just in time.

  • Any questions Joe the Plumber should ask God while he has him on the line?
  • Rove is still funny.
  • I can't wait for the Tour de France to start this weekend. I'll be catching the action at Podium Cafe.
