The real story is that the photographic evidence that the Ratcatchers of Tehran are White Sox fans. Sounds about right.

I'll have to weigh the value of having additional sunlight on public life versus the pain of writing a check to Blethen and all of the conservative support that entails. Not sure what I'll choose.
That said, if 80-90% of commenters go away, that would make reading the web-Times far better.

Yep, that's my team's punter. He has appeared in ads in support of marriage equality in Minnesota. He is famous for such internet-savvy screeds. He plays bass in a band. His twitter handle is @chriswarcraft.

Imagine the attack ad: "Rob McKenna promises 'A new direction for Washington'? This from the man who named his dog 'W,' after George W. Bush? We don't need a governor who idolizes George W. Bush enough to name his dog after him. Rob McKenna: W is his bitch."

ATTENTION JAY INSLEE CAMPAIGN: Rob McKenna named his dog “W.” This is all a voter needs to know about him. This fact will guarantee an Inslee victory. I can only hope and assume you are keeping this devastating bit of oppo in the can so you can use it during the home-stretch of the campaign.

Where was the secret service? They should have gang tackled that baby. It is their job to take a baby's hand to the mouth for the POTUS.

I can tell you read the books recently because you used the word, "rheumy." Good summary. Also: if there is a location named on the map, there is some sort of rule that some chapter will take place there eventually. Map names are like a checklist. Why do we need to follow Brienne to Crackclaw Crackpoint? Because it's on the map, that's why.

This is not a radical decision. Look elsewhere for (the ample) reasons to be dissatisfied with this Supreme Court.

As Dave Weigel put it, Pawlenty to Romney: "The jerk store called, and they're all out of you!"
