It's come to this; Rick Perry has an ad out attacking Mitt Romney for being concerned about the environment. Perry's clearly going for the asshole vote -- i.e., those people who buy the least fuel efficient vehicles they can find, just to piss Al Gore off.
Speaking of Mittens, he made a foreign policy speech to day that was a hopeless mess of inane and paranoid nonsense.
Steve Benen takes on GOP economic flateartherism; "In the GOP worldview, the economy will improve when hundreds of thousands of public-sector workers lose their jobs. That may sound ridiculous -- and it is -- but it's also a central tenet to the Republican employment policy.

The Obama administration takes Alabama to court, seeking to overturn their insane anti-immigrant law.
Finally, the return of the glitter protest.
