Clink your glasses, everyone. One year ago today.

Once upon a time (two days ago), I applauded Mitt Romney for naming Richard Grenell his spokesperson on national security. Grenell is an openly gay republican who once petitioned the State Department to name his male partner (a Hollywood media executive) his spouse. But this tweet is pretty...

I would say don't read/watch this if you're headed down to Sea-N-Suds anytime soon. http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2012/04/201241682318260912.html Eyeless shrimp . . . yummy.

I thought this was an Onion article when I saw the headline. It's not. http://nationaljournal.com/2012-presidential-campaign/romney-adviser-you-hit-a-reset-button-in-the-fall-like-etch-a-sketch--20120321

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/12/world/asia/afghanistan-civilians-killed-american-soldier-held.html?_r=1&hp I can't imagine the rest of our occupation going particularly well.

http://univisionnews.tumblr.com/post/17232350881/study-alabamas-hb56-immigration-law-could-cost-state Here's a link to the study itself. Anyone seeing the effects of this first hand yet? A 6.2% drop in GDP would be fugly.

Not sure I'd advise this strategy . . . https://twitter.com/#!/EWErickson/statuses/170215748688560128 My guess is he knows Georgia is a Gingrich/Santorum crowd and so he wants no part of it. Why give anyone a free shot at him when he has a 25:1 spending advantage?

Will E-trade let me buy stock in unmanned drones?

Additionally, November and December's reports we're revised upward by 60,000 jobs. http://money.cnn.com/2012/02/03/news/economy/jobs_report_unemployment/index.htm?iid=SF_E_Lead At the moment, I don't care who's responsible. I'm just glad it's happening.

Anyone know much about this? If I understand it correctly, this bill may put sites like TideFans (and other discussion boards, social media sites, and sharing hubs) in serious legal jeopardy by making them legally liable if their users link to or post copyrighted material. Here's a video that...

I suspect a number of people will find this surprising.

What's the issue with Republican voters hating Mitt Romney? The guy has no real competition for the nomination (IMO) and yet still can't break 25% in any of the national polls. If you're anti-Romney, chime in here . . . Is it his Mormonism? Is it the similarities between RomneyCare &...

Keep fighting the good fight for us, buddy.

Pretty interesting post/challenge on fivethirtyeight.com: FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right: A Challenge to Climate Change Skeptics Anyone on this board want to lose some money? ;)

I keep hearing (from good friends, family members, and Fox News) that the U.S. is becoming a “socialist” country. We shouldn’t be bailing out banks, I hear. Or car companies. Or the state of California. Everyone should have to pay their own way. But I’m having a...

Ever wonder how we went from an $846 billion surplus to a $1.2 trillion deficit? Barf.

Nice little dust up going on here . . . I'd never heard of this Hagee guy, but his performance here is impressive. Where do these guys get all their cool props? http://youtube.com/watch?v=uViQ0hVV57Q

Because I can't seem to find the other one. Because you know you can't help yourself. And because it's starting to look like the more serious allegations in the Times article were actually those regarding federal lobbyists . . ...

Sounds ridiculous, but look at the vote totals from this night: Barack Obama 619,969 John McCain 241,768 Mike Huckabee 188,624 That means that Obama got 190,000 more votes than McCain and Huckabee COMBINED. Two other figures of note . . . if you do some quick math with the exit polls, it...

Unfair . . . but pretty dang funny. For those who want some background before clicking, it's a parody of that Barack Obama "Yes We Can" video. Only it features John McCain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gwqEneBKUs&e
