Stories to Watch: 8/18/11

I'm going to see a band tomorrow night and I want to get some stuff done around here before I go, so no updates tomorrow. Now here's the news...


A Ron Paul supporter takes out a full page ad asking for a "stripper, escort, or just a 'young hottie'" who's "ever had sex with Rick Perry" to contact the "Committee Against Sexual Hypocrisy (CASH)." Like many Ron Paul supporters, this one -- Robert Morrow, who seems to make up the entirety of his "committee" -- is quite literally insane.


The Obama administration calls for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down.


Christine O'Donnell -- who is still not a witch -- walks off the set of Pier's Morgan Tonight because of, according to O'Donnell, "border-line creepy" questions about sex. CNN, on the other hand, reports that she walked off "when asked about her views on sexual abstinence and gay marriage." Unfortunately for O'Donnell, CNN has the video. Do Tea Party types just not understand the concept of "recording?" They get caught in these kind of lies all the time.


Michele Bachmann pass herself of as "Dr. Bachmann" about ten years ago -- a title she had no claim to.


Economically, we're heading straight for a cliff, by embracing austerity, drastic spending cuts, and other examples of boneheaded prioritizing that tries to reverse the law of supply and demand. The problem is, everyone knows it, but no one in Washington will admit it.


Rick Perry doesn't know jack about climate change. And that's the positive spin. A more negative view would be that he's a bad liar.


The next big fight in Wisconsin; retiring Sen. Herb Kohl's seat which, at the moment, could go either way.


Once famous for loving cheeseburgers, former president Bill Clinton goes vegan. Sounds like it was doctor's orders.


Finally, Elizabeth Warren forms an exploratory committee in preparation of a run against Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts.
