So this experiment is scab officials seems to be going well for the NFL. Although, I watched the replay of the Packers game and it looked like one of the scab refs lost track of which team had possession of the ball and called a touchdown when it was clearly a safety touchback.

Vance Phillips wasn't around to hand off the watermelon of doom, so did the job fall to Christine O'Donnell. The Commander Guy thinks so...

I love Pandora. (The blogger and the internet radio). I just got this email from Pandora (the internet radio) asking for our support.

The good news: Obama continues to kick ass. "Obama to win" positions hit new highs in both major trading markets over the weekend. (71% Intrade & 70 IEM). The bad news: Republican billionaires are committed to a strategy of harassment and intimidation of Democratic voters while bankrolling huge GOTV efforts among conservatives. ...

Will Bunch is glad that "redistribution" came up as a topic.  As a country we've gone a long time without talking about income inequality:

Here's a finding that would have made for great occupy sign last year: American income inequality may be more severe today than it was way back in 1774 -- even if you factor in slavery.

I'm not real up on Massachusetts politics, but I love Elizabeth Warren.  She is a Democrat's Democrat and if elected will be the philosophical heir to Paul Wellstone in the Senate.    The accidental incumbent, Scott Brown, hoped to get out of the debates, and hang it on the possibility of missing a vote.   There will be no vote in the Senate, so let the rhetorical blows rain down in this Republican empty suit. Here's the debate details: Debate time: 7:00-8:00 ET Watch and/or listen: The debate will stream live on CBSBoston.com. (There's a rumor that it will also be on CSPAN, but it's not on today's schedule yet.)

I had a feeling that making money would trump the company founder's desire to hate on gay marriage. This is America dammit!

A Chicago advocacy group says that the restaurant Chick-fil-A has promised to back away from funding socially conservative groups that have pressed to limit marriage to one man and one woman.

I've been reading a lot of conservative blogs lately. I've donned my level 3 biohazard suit, and walked through the looking glass and read comment threads on "Red State" and other cesspools of conservative "thought." I'm frankly fascinated by wingnuts trying to come to terms with the debacle that is this election cycle. In no particular order, these are some of the things I keep reading.

Obama was so beatable. Everyone is lying to the pollsters because they don't want to be seen as racist. ...

This kind of thing does not happen to legitimate Presidential campaigns:

Pawlenty Steps Down From Romney Campaign To Join Bank Lobbying Group Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty will join the Washington-based Financial Services Roundtable as its new president and CEO, the bank lobbying firm announced Thursday. Pawlenty will step down as national co-chair …

What we are seeing is...

Somone needs to tell Katie to try and speak in a slightly higher register. But her crackly (vocal fry) voice is just one annoying thing about her. I'm sure Survivor…

If Mitt Romney beats Ms. Clinton it will because he set the stage for his victory during the primary season of 2012. In the summer of 2012, when the rest of the GOP field was running to the right, Mitt Romney stuck to his moderate guns. While Michelle Bachman and Newt Gingrich stoked the fires of hatred and division among Republicans, Mitt Romney argued for a more sensible, inclusive GOP. It was obviously a message that the Republican primary voters were not ready for, but ...

As if humanity required more proof that Gene Roddenberry was in fact a time traveling alien sent to earth to facilitate our graduation from primate status, physicists suggest a space-time bending warp drive may be more feasible than previously thought. Furthermore, several scientists have already begun testing the concept on a small scale.
