This was the inevitable result of saturation coverage of the Newt Gingrich Super PAC ad. The title "When Mitt Comes to Town" made me think of the classic U2/BB King song "When Love Comes to Town". So the name "Bain" has been bouncing around my head with a general 80's vibe. That's how I came up with the notion of setting a Romney Parody song to "King of Pain".

So without further fanfare, "King of Bain is going to be below the jump. Feel free to add more verses or alter as you see fit. However, since it is the Police, it is stuck in my head. Also, you may have to hold certain vowels in weird ways to make in scan. Finally, I apologize if the original or the parody gets stuck in your head.

I decided to write Congressman Schweikert (R-AZ-05) about the debt ceiling crisis despite the inevitable frustration that will result. I basically asked him not to shoot the hostage and I did it in the most harsh way a polite letter can. This is because he has voted a straight wingnut record since he was voted into office. The only reason I even sent it is that perhaps being counted as being related to someone in his necessary demographic (my mom lives in the same CD) maybe constituents missing Social Security checks plus his background in predatory finance may convince him that a default isn't in his best interest. The letter after the jump.

For those unfamiliar with the latest happenings at the Maricopa County Sheriff's office, things seem to be getting rather uncomfortable for Sheriff Arpaio. The first series of revelations related to the SCA (the sleazy fund he used to slime Dan Saban) and the second came out yesterday on ABC 15 news. Both of these land squarely at the doorstep of Arpaio's number 2, David Hendershott. This was detailed in the 1100+ page Babeu report (prepared by Pinal County sheriff Paul Babeu of "build the dang fence" fame) which was referred to the U.S. Attorney's office.

Honestly, I was inclined to believe Congressman Mitchell was in serious jeopardy in the 5th CD of Arizona. This was Hayworth's seat, after all. However the debate on 2/25 has convinced the story is of "Harry Mitchell and the 5 dwarves". And weirdly enough no one in this debate went "full teabag". More including dramatis personae and the candidate introductions at the debate after the jump in the first of a two part series.

I decided to write an email to Kathleen Parker in reference to the rough time she's been having with loyal Rethugs. In it, I do lament the loss of the non-partisan fact.

After the jump there's plenty of discussion and I sort of call her a water carrier for the administration and a cause of the problem (but in a really polite way).

If both sides don't reach 2025, 2118, or 2209 then it will go to the convention. Also, the latest Wesley Clark/RBC ramblings tend to point to it going to the convention. In this instance, Senator Obama would have the advantage in delegates.

Obama's endgame seems clear. Various test votes would be offered up to show that he had a plurality of the votes and to give Senator Clinton the chance to desist gracefully. Certainly these votes would become more and more serious. Probably ending with MI/FL or the nominating vote.

What does Senator Clinton's endgame look like if she is still pursuing the presidency and why is it problematic? Please follow after the jump.
