Today in pot-calls-kettle-black news: Rick Santorum -- who once argued that same sex marriage would lead inevitably to man-on-dog sex -- claims Rick Perry "ignores reality for ideology." Bonus fun: the argument's about a border fence and Perry's right. Rick's also really pissed at Google, because he's a clown and doesn't know how the internet works.

The Georgia Parole Board denies clemency to Troy Davis, despite the fact that many witnesses to the crime he's accused of committing have recanted, saying they were coerced by police into giving false statements, and nine people have signed affidavits identifying someone else as the shooter by name. The ACLU called the clemency hearing "a sham."

Eric Holder says the Obama administration is still going to try to close Gitmo before election day.
Texas Rep. Wayne Christian both spills the beans and demonstrates just how poorly Republicans understand simple English. In talking about the GOP's attempts to shut down Planned Parenthood, Christian says, "Well of course this is a war on birth control and abortions and everything, that’s what family planning is supposed to be about."

Occupy Wall Street has some pretty disturbing video of cops roughing up protesters.
Finally, Michele Bachmann visits a traffic-signal plant in Iowa -- one that "thrives on government-funded road projects like those Obama has promoted" -- to bitch about how much government spending has hurt the plant. Because she's smart like that.
