Wow, we thought we’d have to search a *little* to find an obnoxious and misdirected Paultard rally, but here we are working at the Radisson in Manchester — where Fox News is not hosting any Paul-excluding forums tonight — and the shit starts raining. They’re chanting about some document called the Constitution. We hear New Hamphshire’s is working out swell for all parties, balanced budgets and the like, so maybe they mean to say the Articles of Confederation.

“Virtual March?” You don’t even need to actually show up to march on Washington anymore! Thanks, Chamber of Commerce! MORE »

Hate treason and have some time to kill? Why not head over the the DC bureau offices of the New York Times to join Accuracy in Media’s own Cliff Kincaid and some of his closest friends in a high-spirited “protest of treasonous reporting”?

George Clooney — who has such love in his heart for our Gotham-based sibling and its Gawker Stalker feature — is coming to Washington. His visit to D.C. is wreaking havoc with the National Press Club’s schedule. Inside Higher Ed reports:

The president of George Mason University and the presidents of Virginia Tech and the University of Delaware were supposed to speak at the National Press Club in Washington at lunchtime tomorrow about the role of academic research in America’s future competitiveness. But some guy named George Clooney is scheduled to talk at the press club about his recent trip to Darfur, Sudan at just about the same time.
