She suggests there’s a rift between Dan Rutherford and the Romney campaign because Romney supports a Constitutional Amendment to ban same sex marriage.

Friar Frank Pavone from the Terri Schiavo shows up making sure the Circus gets bigger. And the Thomas More Society is providing legal assistance to the Pro-Life Action Network for them to sue Steve Twombley, Chicago head of Planned Parenthood.

Bill Foster wants you to fill the beaker:
Markos joins in on the fun The ad is up in the corner and you can go here to donate. Please do. This is a winnable race with a reactionary, anti-democratic pol born on 3rd base thinking he hit a triple running against a strong progressive candidates who went to work in the steel mill. […]
I’ve often felt sympathy for many of the Governor’s staffers who have good ideas, but have to operate in a pretty toxic environment: BECKY CARROLL, who often explains budget issues from the perspective of Gov. ROD BLAGOJEVICH, is leaving the administration to work for the presidential campaign of U.S. Sen. BARACK OBAMA, D-Illinois. Carroll, now […]
The entire situation regarding Glenn Poshard’s dissertation and thesis is important.There are varying degrees of culpability and certainly Poshard has some there with the question being how serious the violations are.

It’s not just a private business, but a Constitutionally protected […]
Maureen Ryan: ‘m not sure what Chuck Lorre has against smart people, but with the foul sitcom “The Big Bang Theory” (7:30 p.m. Monday, WBBM-Ch. 2) he tries to have his revenge against anyone with an IQ above room temperature.
From Talking Points Memo: But don’t think this allusion to generations of stereotypes about black men was just some stray comment. The RNC just shot off an email building on the slur. With the headline “Razzle Dazzle”, the email continues the theme that Obama is just another black fancy-pants with a slick smile and nice […]
Oh my: As for Obama, a senior White House official said the freshman senator from Illinois was “capable” of the intellectual rigor needed to win the presidency but instead relies too heavily on his easy charm. “It’s sort of like, ‘that’s all I need to get by,’ which bespeaks sort of a condescending attitude towards […]
