Flights of Fancy Sing Thee To Thy Rest

The political class of the United States needs an intervention.  Possibly long-term.
  • Gary Johnson (who I think is the Libertarian Party candidate, which shows how great an impact he has) was not invited to the debate (awwwww) and also seems to believe the men represented on Mount Rushmore were third party candidates. He apparently doesn't realize that:
    • Teddy Roosevelt was a third party candidate after he'd already been President,
    • George Washington did not belong to a party,
    • Abraham Lincoln's party was not a third party by the time he ran,
    • And Thomas Jefferson organized an oppositional party.
    Which means he's wrong on the history Right There.
  • Echidne of the Snakes discusses Rep. Paul Broun.  No one seems to have mentioned to Mr. Broun that the Vatican has conceded that Galileo was correct; perhaps someone should.
