A small and silly leftover from my trip to CPAC last weekend:
Amidst the Breitbart homages and bitter recriminations against the media, here's the description of one panel taken from the official conference program, same panel title in both online and app versions of the program, verbatim:
10:30 "Getting Your Foot in the Door: What Editors Look For—A Workshop for Young Jouranlists"
Hmm. Well, there's your problem.
Blast from the Past. At Daily Kos on this date in 2010—Stupak Situation:
Bart Stupak successfully hijacked the healthcare debate, again, threatening to bring the whole bill down if he can't take abortion coverage away from millions and millions of women. The situation is still very much in flux, but it would appear that his push for an enrollments correction resolution was floated by leadership, and possibly tanked by the pro-choice caucus, who according to the twitterverse, threatened to bolt if he got his vote. |
Tweet of the Day:
Justice Ginsberg, 80, works out: "When I started, I looked like a survivor of Auschwitz. Now I'm up to 20 pushups."

But other than that, in no way are the two stories related. Except for the deficit "crisis" having been created by that war, which was supposed to pay for itself and be a cakewalk. After an update on budget maneuverings in Congress,
Armando takes us back to the parallels between the Iraq war political landscape and today's austerity craze.
