  • Stephen Colbert interviewed Laura Ingraham, who has just released an exciting new minstrel show.
  • Are Democrats pushing a birther candidate to hurt a Republican?
  • Dan Quayle's son Ben is running for congress, and he has rented some children.
  • Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty is open to making Minnesota's official language English, which should piss off some old Norwegians somewhere up north, probably.
  • In their abominable and unsurprising editorial against the Cordoba House Islamic center in lower Manhattan, the editors of the National Review smeared Imam Faisal Rauf.
  • And according to CNN, the Islamic center will be "built by 9/11." Did you know that 9/11 is a place, now?
  • Sharron Angle is still a nut.
  • Actual real-life no-foolin' Politico column, today: "President Obama should be more endearing." Apparently he needs a nickname.
  • A Republican gubernatorial candidate in Colorado has discovered that bike lanes are part of a one-world-government UN plot to control our cities. I am not joking. This is America, in 2010. Whee.
  • And an Indiana Republican learned an important vocabulary lesson yesterday.
