Stories to Watch: 6/12/12

You know how after a long, hard-fought primary campaign, the candidates always come together to show a united front? Yeah, about that...


As always, Republican lies contradict each other.


George Zimmerman's wife is no more trustworthy than he is.


Dem analysts tell the Obama campaign that he needs to take off the kid gloves. It's a story that Buzzfeed gets 180 degrees wrong.


Rep. Louis Gohmert said something stupid again.


David Brooks wrote something stupid again.


The circus chimps on Fox and Friends broadcast something stupid again.


ALEC loses another corporate sponsor.


Finally, a reminder: Jonah Goldberg is a hack.

News Roundup for 4/16/12


Order now and get this special commemorative gift


-Headline of the Day-
"Romney Sells Inauguration Access, Nine Months Early."

Hey, want a front row seat to Mitt Romney's "presidential inaugural retreat?" That'll be a cool $50,000, please.

According to the report, "The offer, in a fundraising email circulated by a top Georgia supporter to fellow Republicans and obtained by BuzzFeed, is one of several goodies offered to those who contribute more than $50,000 to the joint fundraising committee known as 'Romney Victory,' a program whose outlines were first reported by POLITICO."

Donors at this level will also get "yet to be determined access at the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August."

OK, so that whole Tampa convention thing that Mittens has totally nailed down -- that's all up in the air and who knows what. But the Mitt Romney inaugural? Totally in the bag, no question about it.

No word on what'll it'll cost to get a seat at the absolutely guaranteed 2016 reelection celebration, but that'll be after Mittens cures cancer and eliminates poverty, so count on it to be plenty. (Buzzfeed)


-On the other hand...-




Got to be in it to win it. (McClatchy)


-Bonus HotD-
"Policy ignorance at the Supreme Court."

Conservative justices clearly have no idea what the hell is in the law they're expected to rule on.

File under "Unsurprising shit that should scare the crap out of you anyway." (Maddow Blog)

Stories to Watch: 12/12/11

I'm starting to get a little antsy about snow. We should have some by now, but we've barely had a flake. If we're going to have a white Christmas, the weather 'd better get a move on. Now here's the news...


And so it begins; Newt and Mittens are busy kicking the crap out of each other before a single primary vote has been cast. Bonus; they're both on the money. Romney calls out Newt for being a Freddie Mac lobbyist, so Newt points out that Mittens was in the job-destroying business at Bain. In the end, the big winner in this fight may be Obama.


Batshit insane hate-radio host Michael Savage offers Gingrich $1 million to drop out. The big news here; Michael Savage claims to have a spare million bucks.


Fox News is a transparent propaganda operation. They're barely even trying to hide it.


Sarah Palin refuses to accept that her 15 minutes of fame are over.


Newt Gingrich is a typical Republican in at least one aspect; he believes everyone needs to freak out over something that's never going to happen.


Krugman comes out saying we're in a global depression.


Arizona's "no Hispanics allowed" law will go before the Supreme Court.


Mittens had an uncomfortable conversation with a 63 year-old vet -- and it was beautiful.


Also from Romney; he keeps saying he wants to keep America from becoming like Europe, while pushing the same policies that are currently failing so spectacularly there.


Finally, Politico's Ben Smith moves to... Wait, what? Yup, BuzzFeed.
