  • Obama is going on about something again, what is it this time, oh, schools. Schools. Let’s make the kids do more math, and reading too! There. That should do it. [The Caucus]
  • Human simulacrum Richard Gere has called out Madame Secretary Hillary Clinton! For apparently “misspeaking” about the role of human rights in the economic crisis. So, Hillary Clinton has been embarrassed, publicly, by an aging, vaguely sad gray-haired ladykiller. Interesting. [CNN Political Ticker]
