  • NObama's savage ACORN shock troops viciously attacked some little old Tea Partiers, according to blogs. (But not according to reality.)
  • Archbishop John C. Nienstedt is basically the asshole of the day.
  • Robert Gates has asked Congress to hold off on repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell until the military is ready. But based on certain recent armed forces-created music video homages, it doesn't look like DADT is actually being enforced anymore.
  • Charlie Rose totally zinged Larry Summers. Seriously. It was stone cold.
  • Here's your White House Correspondents Dinner preview: Leno just told a terrible Eric Massa joke on Hardball. All that nonsense is tomorrow night.
  • You really need to read this whole thing, but basically it's the story of Bob Rubin asking a grown woman if she wants to "cuddle." Also: as the world economy collapsed, he didn't do very much to stop it because he was too busy calling this lady.
