Matt Osborne has a must read at Huffington Post on the life cycle of the nontroversy that is “climategate”.

Fox News: A man was arrested for allegedly throwing two tomatoes at Sarah Palin from the second floor balcony during a book signing event at the Mall of America in Minnesota, MyFoxTwinCities.com. reported. Neither tomato came close hitting the former 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, but did hit a police officer in the face, the […]

A couple big stories today involving Republicans and violence. First here is former Rep. Chip Pickering (R-MS): Former Congressman (and C Streeter) Chip Pickering is reportedly under police investigation for his involvement in a brawl with a rival youth league soccer coach. Apparently, police were called to Liberty Park in Madison, Mississippi, after Pickering and […]

The saga of Tiger Woods keeps getting more interesting: A Florida highway patrol request for blood tests of Tiger Woods the morning of his accident was denied. The development comes with suspicions he was driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. I bet the judge who refused this subpoena was worried about some kind […]

That total surpasses similar FEC requests to Ohio’s 17 other representatives. Rep. […]

Evidence now exists that the ignorance you exhibit could come from your parents: Palin, though notoriously ill-traveled outside the United States, did journey far to the first of the four colleges she attended, in Hawaii. She and a friend who went with her lasted only one semester. “Hawaii was a little too perfect,” Palin writes. […]

Forget the emails that basically prove nothing, except to give the science and common sense deniers something to go crazy over. That wasn’t enough to give the current climate change controversy the famous “gate” suffix. But now we have something new happening; something that takes us back to the origins of the “gate” suffix: Attempts […]

The website defendglenn.com has been fighting back against the boycotts of Glenn Beck.
