Michelle Obama hugs a woman at a celebration

Happy birthday, Michelle Obama.


Just a reminder; Rush Limbaugh is an idiot and a prick.


A hostage rescue attempt by Algeria goes horribly, horribly wrong. Somehow, this is Pres. Obama's fault.


Proving that they're lunatics who'll believe pretty much anything, polling shows that Republicans are still mostly birthers -- by a wide margin.


Somewhat related: Half of House Republicans wanted to vote yes on the fiscal cliff deal, but voted no out of fear they'd be primaried by nutjobs.

It looks like Marco Rubio's PAC is a typical conservative operation -- a scam to separate chumps from their money.


Chris Christie slaps the NRA for their "reprehensible" ad.
