Politicians From America’s Weirdo Unattached States Form Unholy Alliance
There has often emerged from the American electorate a sort of vague, inchoate idea that more “bipartisanship” is needed in our politics.

Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski Keeps Not Getting Memo On War On War On Women
GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski, why do you insist on undermining the War on the War on Women? RNC Chair Reince Priebus has said it’s fictional.

Lisa Murkowski spent all weekend getting hollered at by ladies in Alaska over her “yes” vote on last week’s failed Blunt amendment, which would’ve let any employer exclude contraception from its health plan offerings if scary vagina pills offended their pwecious moral or religious fee-fees.
