Almost Had It, There

• The Daily Howler on the coverage of one of the candidates in the New York City mayoral election (hint:  Not Weiner) by a prominent columnist at the New York Times (hint:  Not Brooks),  with a quote from a commenter (not me) on the article:  "When did the Times editorial page become Tiger Beat?"  And here, America, is your handbasket; step carefully and be sure to strap in, the destination can be a bit rough...

• Now, Republicans are making another attempt to literally take food from the mouths of millions of working families, children, elderly and disabled Americans.

  From Republic of T., crying out for justice.
  I begin to wonder whether these Republicans have ever read the Gospels.  For people professing to be Christians, they display a remarkable ignorance about what Jesus of Nazareth preached.  Remember Jesus?  Christianity is centered around Jesus.  Not around capitalism or power.
  
• Secret accusers and information sources.  Where have I heard that before?  Sounds a little like the latter stages of the Dreyfus case or rumors about the Inquisition or Stalinist justice or something.
