Stories to Watch: 3/22/12

Short one today. It's not that there's nothing much going on, it's that there's nothing much interesting going on. Or maybe I'm just tired. Anyway, here's the news...


Another way the GOP's War on Women is a self-inflicted wound: a new Pew poll finds that voters are getting sick of all the religious talk. The largest group of respondents -- 38% -- say there's "too much expression of religious faith and prayer from political leaders."


The Sanford, FL Police Chief steps down -- temporarily -- in response to the Trayvon Martin killing. I doubt anyone outraged by the killing will find his self-imposed vacation very satisfying.


Taxes don't chase rich people away.


A quick reminder: Mitt Romney is a serial liar.


A weakened insider trading bill goes to the president's desk. Bernie Sanders and Pat Leahy are displeased.


This is what happens when you don't have a constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of speech. Don't doubt that there are people in America who would love to see this here.


Finally, which congress critter is most guilty of serial nepotism? Ron Paul.

Hope everyone had a good Fourth. I know I enjoyed it. Now here's the news...


I mentioned earlier today that Richard Cohen compared the GOP to a cult and now it turns out that Republicans have gotten too crazy for David Brooks as well. All of which causes Steve Benen to wonder if the party has lost the punditry. Man, you sure hope so.


Of course, Brooks' column was the worst thing ever.


As Republicans bash Democrats as being weak in defense of Israel, it pays to point out that this strategy isn't working.


Rep. Tammy Baldwin still has eyes for Herb Kohl's senate seat. Hope for this one to pan out, because it'd be like having a second Bernie Sanders in the Senate -- only younger.


The crazy people's candidate of choice; Rick Perry.


Newt's campaign is pretty much flat busted broke.


Bristol Palin says her mom isn't dumb. I've got to say, her mom hides that fact well.


Finally, Michele Bachmann wants to smite the wicked... Or something.
