  • Rising star Virginia Attorney General and IRL troll Ken Cuccinelli is thrilled that his suit against the constitutionality of the individual mandate will be allowed to proceed. He was so pleased that he decided to institute his own little immigration law, via an official legal opinion ruling that Virginia cops can check immigration status of anyone they stop. A busy day!
  • Julian Assange is a criminal who must be stopped, says Washington Post torture enthusiast and terrible political columnist Marc Theissen.
  • The only intellectually honest contributor to the Wall Street Journal editorial page will now be a columnist for Harper's.
  • The national conversation on race is pretty much just Andrew Breitbart race-baiting and MediaMatters calling him on it, over and over again.
  • Here is the great/depressing George Packer piece on the brokenness of the Senate.
  • Michele Bachmann mysteriously went to the hospital, the day she was supposed to campaign for Roy Blount.
  • Attacking a woman with a knife? That's fine. But if you dare try to develop immigration reform legislation, David Vitter will fire your ass.
