The Back-Room of the GOP is Working Overtime and They Have an Ally

Yo’ Intellectual Elite is So Dumb…
The next time someone accuses me, as a Tea Partier and conservative, of being “anti-intellectual”, I’m going to point them to this post: EVAN THOMAS, POLITICO: [New Jersey Governor] Christie would be a very appealing candidate except that he weighs too much.

So, A Terrorist, A Drug Dealer, and an Under-Reported Story Walk into a Bar…
Q: Did you hear the one about the rocket launcher, grenade launcher, and several packages of explosives found by the US/Mexico border (via memeorandum)?

Benen noted that he was scheduled to appear on six national shows in the past two weeks even though he barely appears as a blip on any Presidential [...]
Venn You’ve Got It, Ezra Klein, You’ve Got It.
It’s time again for another trip into the mind of Ezra Klein. Please take your motion-sickness pills and if, for some reason, your entire being is catapulted into a universe of unicorns and rainbows, please do not be alarmed. A rescue team will find you in relatively short order. Klein has decided to take on [...]
The Bias and Bigotry of Bill Keller
