Stories to Watch: 6/1/11

Making burgers. On the grill. Because that's the sort of thing I do. Now here's the news...


Republicans don't like it when President Obama tells them that tax rates are lower now than under Reagan. In fact, they pretty much refuse to believe it. Proof yet again that the GOP is at war with reality.


Sarah Palin met with Fox News execs; presumably to decide whether she's running for president or being a Fox personality. She can't do both and stay clear of the law.


Latest maybe-gonna-run-for-prez: Jim DeMint. Sooner or later, Republicans are going to have to come to grips with the idea that the candidates they have are the candidates they have. If they don't like them, tough. Finding new nuts that are exactly like the ones already running isn't going to save their asses.


Wisconsin recall target Dan Kapanke isn't feeling any voter love for Republicans. "We've got tons of government workers in my district -- tons," he says. "From La Crosse to Prairie du Chien and to Viroqua and to Ontario and to Hillsboro, you can go on and on and on. We have to overcome that. We gotta hope that they, kind of, are sleeping on July 12th -- or whenever the date is." That quote wasn't meant for public consumption, by the way -- according to the report, it was "secretly recorded." He also doesn't hold out a lot of hope for Randy Hopper or Alberta Darling.


Jesus may have ruled out a presidential bid for Mike Huckabee, but he didn't say anything about the veepee slot.


Rep. Anthony Weiner doesn't make the most convincing argument in the world that an underwear shot is not of him.


Finally, a class act all the way, Sarah Palin goes to Ellis Island to bash the DREAM Act.
