We mentioned last week that Eric “St. Bodie Girl” Bodenweiser filed to run against Sen. Joe Booth in the Confederate Party primary for the 19th Senate district seat.

Yesterday was a day of congressional primaries in Indiana, North Carolina, and Ohio. While I don’t care to go into details about each and every one (although if you do, Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post has a good wrap-up), there is an over-riding trend that I do want to take note of.

Allow me to be the first to extend my congratulations to Monsignor Lavelle and Rep. Kovach. Yesterday, they earned the distinction of  being the only ones opposing legislation to enable victims of abuse by healthcare providers (Read: Br.
