Stories to Watch: 10/20/11

OK, better late than never. Now here's the news...


Sen. Lindsey Graham wants to spend a big ol' pot of money on infrastructure -- Libya's infrastructure. America, on the other hand, can go screw herself.


More Republicans come out with the bizarre argument that President Obama didn't win Libya right. Mitt Romney looks especially stupid on that point.


Marco Rubio's story about being the son of Cuban exiles turns out to be bullshit.


Herman Cain comes out as pro-choice. Everyone's pretending to be confused over the fact that he personally opposes abortion, yet says the government has no business making that decision for people. I'm sorry, he's saying he's pro-choice. The only thing I find confusing about this is all the confusion.


Louisiana has passed what may be the stupidest, most poorly thought out law in history.


Andrew Sullivan: "To rid the world of Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and Moammar Qaddafi within six months: if Obama were a Republican, he'd be on Mount Rushmore by now."


Finally, the GOP's claims about what they laughably call their "jobs bill" are, quite frankly, insane.

Stories to Watch: 9/30/11

Went out and saw a show last night, which was fun. But man, was it ever windy. And cold. Outside sucked. Inside with beer was great. Now here's the news...


US-born al Qaeda figure Anwar al-Awlaki is killed by a drone strike in Yemen. Both Glenn Greenwald and Ron Paul aren't fans of the move, while the rightwing blogosphere seems split. At least one wingnut makes an ill-advised parallel that suggests they aren't aware that Hitler committed suicide.


Steve Benen uses al-Awlaki's death to point out that President Obama has had a substantial winning streak when it comes to foreign policy.


Why I hate pundits, example 3,462,091,483-A: Michael Kinsley argues that Chris Christie can't be president because "he is just too fat." And Michael Kinsley is just too shallow.


Contrary to lazy reporting, Warren Buffett did not oppose the Buffet Rule.


Alabama is enjoying success in their efforts to produce some of the nation's stupidest kids.


Finally, Sarah Palin's coquettishness continues. Sooner or later, the media will wise up and stop taking her calls.
