Apparently, the usual sober and fraught political commentary that often accompanies episodes of physical violence directed toward women disappears when the subject of that violence is a Palin. The political press had a hearty chuckle at the expense of

Well, now I don’t get it. I thought Democrats had a huddle at the beginning of the month and decided that, with a Republican tsunami gathering, they had to abandon the whole “Barack who?” shtick and make a strong push to get core

I missed this over the weekend but Breitbart didn’t. Hensarling is, of course, the House Republican whom conservatives have been nudging for years to challenge Boehner. He’s resisted, but if Boehner were to retire tomorrow, the race for the
