a pimp I know once told me that, for him and his girls, every day is hump day. Except Sunday, of course. That’s for church.

A long shot, but hell, what else can we bet on in good conscience these days? “Health Care Compacts Could Help Revive Federalism and Cancel Out ObamaCare”: When the history of the Obama Administration is written, astute observers are likely to note that one of the great unintended consequences has been a revival of federalism. This is true not just in a theoretical sense, but in terms of states actua

American Pravda moves forward: Top Democrats in and outside the White House, speaking on background so they could be more candid, suggest that former US Ambassador to China and Utah Governor Jon Huntsman would be the GOP candidate President Obama would least like to face in 2012 — but they think he can’t win the nomination. The very qualities that make Huntsman formidable in November 2012 — his centrism and

James Earl Jones’ character of Terrence Mann in the film Field of Dreams was, in W.P. Kinsella’s original 1982 novel Shoeless Joe, actually J.D. Salinger. So.

Go on. Sue us. The resulting court battles will be, shall we say, illuminating.

Like outlawism, but without infringing upon my copyright. GOP insiders, realists, and pragmatists of the anti-Visigoth stripe might want to pay attention. Because that’s not an armadillo in our trousers. And, pace Juan Williams, et al., news of our collective death has been greatly exaggerated. (h/t Dave O’C)

First, take your victory lap. Then retire the track forever: U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said on Monday the United States would close the Guantanamo Bay facility holding terrorism suspects in Cuba, despite missing a previous deadline to do so. On an official visit to Paris, Holder stressed what he called unprecedented intelligence-sharing ties between France and the United States against a united enemy, al Qaeda, that he said still
