The "Bundy Standoff" (diaried by Nachtwulf and Kuparak and many more), centers around right-wing hysteria over the rightfulness of federal ownership of land in Nevada.

But it's hard to find the basis for these claims, especially since the 1998 ruling against Bundy is not posted online (or not publicly available). However, the cited basis for the decision in US v. Bundy (1998) is online (US v. Gardner), and the arguments in that case are pretty much identical to the right-wing talking points circulating today.

So let's learn about them, shall we?

Is there a solution to the debt ceiling? A political, 11-dimensional chess way of maneuvering the angry Tea Partiers, disappointed progressives, and confused independents?

Why yes, yes there is. And it isn't really too difficult. Surprised nobody thought of it before.

Well, music teachers, your money may be supporting Gov. Scott Walker.

If you have ever purchased sheet music for your class, or recommended a play-along book or CD for your students, you may be supporting Gov. Walker.

But how, you ask?

We've seen plenty of violent rhetoric over the last few years, ever since the mythical Death Panels were inserted into underinformed Conservative's minds. We've seen the Tucson shooting coming for a long time (and indeed saw it previously in CA with the Tides Foundation shooter).

Sen. McConnell and Sen. Murkowski are misleading the public. Framing the EPA's regulation of greenhouse gasses as usurping Congressional authority is fully misleading and a flat out lie. Here's why...

Now that full, unedited videos taken at ACORN sites in California have been posted by California AG (and Gubernatorial Candidate / Former Governor / Former Mayor of Oakland) Jerry Brown, we can clearly see O'Keefe's modus operandi for his pseudo-muckracking.

But what can this tell as about the borderline-bizarre incident in Sen. Landrieu's office?
