Dispatch From An Alternate Reality
How about this for a follow up to Cassandra’s post “How You Make A Trillion Dollar Deficit” – here is Karl Rove from an interview with Greta Von Susteren. “This is a cosmetic gesture.

Donviti PSA #101-2b
If you have 2 daughters aged 14 and 17 and one of them gets pregnant via a penis and then months later I make a joke about one of your daughters and the joke has to do with sex. Odds are I’m talking about the daughter that had sex even if I don’t mention it […]
The Rise and Demise of the McDonald’s LPGA Tournament
The McDonald’s LPGA Tournament, one of the crown jewels of the women’s golf tour, will cease to exist following this week’s finale at Bulle Rock C. C. in Maryland.

Especially […]
SCCOR and the News Journal
Steve Newton and the denizens of DL have had their disagreements, but when the man is right, as he is with this morning’s post on the News Journal puff piece on the Sussex County Community Organized Regiment, he’s right. He pans the story for all that it leaves out: 1) The reporter didn’t bother to […]
Who Leads Republicans? Apparently They Don’t Know Either
USAToday covers a Gallup poll in which Americans were asked who speaks for the GOP. A majority of Americans couldn’t name anyone. A 52% majority of those surveyed couldn’t come up with a name when asked to specify “the main person” who speaks for Republicans today. Of those who could, the top response was radio […]

Yesterday’s Activity. As you can see, most of the action was in the committee meetings, both House and Senate. Lots of interesting bills were reported out, including the Presidential Popular Vote Compact Bill discussed here.
