- The Politico, having already sufficiently raped and pillaged the Morning, Evening, and Afternoon, now has its sights set on the THE DAWN, the rosy fingertips of which it will pry its signature demon scooplets from mercilessly. (No but, uh, actually. See bottom.) [Ben Smith]
- Nate Silver’s pet Andrew has thrown up some math numbers about tied elections being rare (…?), but not before warning us that “probably Nate could come up with something a bit more precise.” Sad. [538]
- Slate has a CONTRARIAN new article about how pointless the G20 is. Just try telling that to the millions who have risked their iPhones and limited-run sneakers and taken to the streets today in London to march against (or for?) something or other. [Slate]
- 2008 human souvenir Carly Fiorina might mount an unsuccessful run against Barbara Boxer. [CNN Political Ticker]
- A sneak peek at the ADP report reveals that something like three quarters of a million jobs were lost in March. But this is good news, you see, because now that there are no more jobs, we cannot possibly report greater losses in April. [AMERICAblog]

Are those attached to Rosy Palm?
I’m still surprised you didn’t just say to hell with it and use Icy as a first pseudonym.
Don’t get too worried about your job until they get you to train somebody, if it’s possible where you work. That person will be your much lower paid replacement. There’s not much you can do after it happens. Train them to do the job wrong, very wrong. It’s the least we can all do.

What, no comment on the new GOP budget-with-numbers-this-time that freezes all non-discretionary spending, dismantles medicare and medicaid, and still predicts half-trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see thanks to the absurd new tax cuts?

Dawn? The one in the saffron robes?
The former Hewlett-Packard CEO was largely sidelined from public appearances for the McCain campaign after telling an interviewer she didn’t think either member of the GOP presidential ticket was qualified to run a major company.
Now let’s hear John McCain’s opinion about Fiorina’s qualifications for elected office.
Oh, and Juli… that’s three quarters of a million jobs lost, I think.
Could the Politico possibly be a bigger group of self-important assholes?
[re=278780]snideinplainsight[/re]: This is as good as the tired meme “I accidentally X”, like “I accidentally 25 Vicodin” or “I accidentally in her vajajay.”
Wonkett will still own the late-early-midafternoon, however.
I hope Carly does run. Her ass spanking will set the stage nicely for Mrs. eBay, Meg Whitman’s, Epic Fail for the governorship next year.
Hey Juli:
It’s usually spelled “sneak peek.”
[re=278761]V572625694[/re]: Rosy-fingered Dawn is Homeric for scrotum-shriveling sea. A popular mistranslation.
the longer quote is “and then rosy fingered dawn…”
it’s from the screenplay of “Hot Lesbo Secretaries.”
FWIW, I got the classical allusion and it made me feel like I really accomplished something getting that liberal arts degree.
Hey Juli, don’t let these punks get you down. You’re doing a good job, kid–fuck thos haterz.
[re=278780]snideinplainsight[/re]: Here in California, we get, like, crazy fun democracy! We’re still working on the electing competent public servants part of that whole crazy fun voting thing…we’ll let you know how it goes (HINT: NOT WELL, WE ARE BROKE AS HELL)
[re=278825]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: It’s always morning somewhere! Sleep in. You’ll write better.
