Yesterday, in the cities and cornfields of Nebraska, an interesting GOP Senate primary ended with the unlikeliest of victories for dark-horse candidate Deb Fischer, currently a member of the Nebraska State Senate. In winning she upset not one, but two candidates, both of whom were outpolling her until quite recently.

One week after President Obama's official endorsement of same-sex marriage, MSNBC played host to a debate over how the decision divides the black community into civil rights versus biblical truth camps.

WASHINGTON -- One of the most consequential campaign finance loopholes affecting the 2012 race -- the one allowing big-money donors to secretly funnel millions into campaign ads -- is now closed, after an appellate court ruling on Monday.

Let’s make it a warmer, gentler place, where people have conversations, not screaming matches. Where people take off their armor and talk about how much they love their children, regardless of whether or not those children are currently being breastfed. Where people are honest about their struggles and their decisions, and how little they know, and how much they know.
Sometimes, I have a feeling that the world is already much more like that then these ongoing articles suggest. Sometimes I think we’re probably almost much closer to that then it’s profitable to admit. Because war so often is about money, isn’t it?

Without compromise, Clinton reminds Tea Party Republican Mourdock, the Constitution would never have been written (see video)
by MICHAEL McAULIFF, Huffington Post
Indiana's GOP Senate primary winner Richard Mourdock represents what's wrong with American politics these days, former President Bill Clinton said Tuesday, arguing that Republicans are too "scared" to compromise.
Clinton, speaking at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation’s Fiscal Summit, advocated for Democrats and Republicans to come together and work on a big-picture plan to deal with debt and deficits. Asked if Washington could do that, Clinton said it was unlikely until after the elections.
"The evidence is that the Republicans will be scared to do it after what happened to Sen. [Richard] Lugar," Clinton said, referencing the six-term Indiana senator Mourdock defeated last week. "We will see, with two or three other primaries, what happens. Obviously, I think there should be a big, bipartisan coalition for this. We may just have to wait till the election is over."

Both the Democratic and Republican parties have manifestos, though I doubt either would willingly admit it. They certainly don’t use the word publicly. A search on Twitter for the words “Manifesto” and “Republican” returns only one sarcastic tweet. Note the hash tag:

Rush Limbaugh on Friday slammed President Barack Obama for not apologizing to the young girl he shoved in fifth grade, and implied The Washington Post was biased in reporting that Mitt Romney had bullied a student in high school.

Did someone say thoughtful political dialogue? I couldn't resist responding to Thomas Stukel's May 5 letter regarding noxious punditry. He probably sits and watches MSNBC every night without the slightest sense of the "noxious diatribe" coming his way. Thanks, Michael Izzi, for contributing to the noise... [MC]

Ann Coulter sat down with Sean Hannity on his radio show Thursday to talk about President Obama finally coming out in support of gay marriage. I love Ann Coulter's witch-like knowledge of what others are thinking. A truly fascinating skill!

On Sean Hannity's Fox News show, conservative pollster Frank Luntz asserted that an Americans for Prosperity ad attacking President Obama over stimulus spending was successful in part because it is "fact-based, not assertions." In reality, nearly every claim in the ad is false or misleading.

Satirical website Falha is fighting against an intellectual property ruling that silenced their dissent.
When satire and fair use are attacked as they have been by Savage, Limbaugh and Folha, it’s a cause for concern everywhere. It demonstrates that intellectual property law (copyright, trademark) has quite clearly gotten out of control and must be reigned in. This is a result of our hyper-capitalized global world: Everything is a product and it is on these grounds that some seek to silence dissent and criticism.

In this opinion piece, Shelly Bernal outlines the underlying conflict of interest faced by our lawmakers and federal appointees. What would you do if your financial future hinged on choices you made today? If you knew that doing the right thing (passing legislation, enforcing regulations or prosecuting law breakers) meant you would be out of a job for the rest of your life? Just suppose someone had the courage...and all they had to do was convince everyone else in the system to do the right thing too. Now we have a sense of how s#*(&^! we are. Let's remember this next time anyone shows an ounce of courage, whether they are within or outside the system. Let's thank them for the sacrifice they have made...for they are a type of soldier and hero that will never see a Medal of Honor, a VA benefits package or GI bill (unless previously earned, of course.) And we'll be needing a lot of them to help us reclaim our government. Via Debilyn Molineaux
