Stories to Watch: 4/12/11

I have windows open. This is a momentous occasion marking the changing seasons. I also tried out the mower -- started right up, which is weird. Usually I have to fight with it the first time I start it in the spring. I wonder if something's wrong with it? Now here's the news...


Actual headline at Conservatives4Palin: "CNN Poll Shows that Governor Palin Probably Leads If You Take Huckabee, Trump, and Bachmann Out of the Poll." If Sarah Palin stands for one thing, it's never letting a little thing like reality stand in the way of what you want to believe. In related news: if everyone else in America dies, Sarah Palin is automatically the president. Keep your fingers crossed!


Wait until the Tea Party gets a gander at the budget compromise. Hint: once a third-grader explains math to them, they're gonna be ma-a-a-ad.


Liberals didn't get off easy either.


Unintended consequences: after the GOP's showboat attack on Planned Parenthood, the organization's online fundraising has "surged by 500 percent." Way to really hamstring PP, guys.


On the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, it becomes necessary to remind everyone that it was all about slavery and the south lost. Those "some people" are almost exclusively Republican. Really makes you wonder why the party struggles to attract even a sliver of the African-American vote, doesn't it?


Finally, the conservative Independent Women's Forum discovers there "is no male-female wage gap." Huzzah! And to prove it, Independent Woman Carrie Lukas compares "single, childless urban workers between the ages of 22 and 30" with their male counterparts and finds they even make more than men! Good thing there aren't any married women, women over 30, women with kids, or women who work outside cities, huh? That'd sure screw up the argument.
