The Next Elected Office Mike Protack Will Lose
This is an interesting article — one that details Protack’s long-time losing streak and continues the tradition of local Republican Party officials running away from him or trying not to acknowledge his existence. If this is the candidate that NCCo Chair Fleming ends up with that is not an especially auspicious start of this chairmanship.
Late Night Oddity — What Happened to these Barbies?
Barbie has been around for a very long time and I suppose that every product needs to be refreshed periodically, but totally upping the ante so that you completely blow by all of the crazy narratives little girls are sold by their Barbies to get them to think that being torn apart by birds is the New Glamorous is sorta nuts.

Call It! Final Predictions of Nov 3 Elections
This weekend’s dramatic turn of events up in NY-23 means that the teabaggers bagged a real scalp from the establishment Republicans and no matter the outcome, the Republican Party (at least the part that is serious about governing) has a real problem on its hands.
