Except if you trace the story back, the source is the Daily Currant, which describes itself as “The Global Satirical Newspaper of Record.” But hey. The cartoon we’ve drawn of Akin in our heads is what made the story plausible in the first place, so Akin only has himself to blame for our having immediately thought that the cartoon in our heads exactly reinforced the cartoon in our heads. Most

“Gender Gap Shifts in Romney’s Favor: Expands Lead With Men”
A shift he and his team are evidently content to see rolled back temporarily if that means gaining centralized Party control over delegates and convention rules, and perhaps once and for all turning those pain in the ass grass roots activists into nothing more than plucky little symbols of an engaged conservative electorate without the concomitant torture of having to listen to all their stupid appeals to constitutionalism, federalism, and

RAAAAACIST charge reveals something else [Darleen Click]

But now that he’s repaired to Wall Street and writes an online column, he’s deriding the idea
Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on the GOP convention battles and Tropical Storm Isaac
“So much fighting, so little peace. How’re we supposed to heal, you know? “– As for Isaac, have I ever told you about my one canceled Love Boat guest star gig? Around ’77, ’78-ish, with Lynda Day George? Well, seems the producers weren’t too thrilled when they found me and Ted Lange on the set of the Lido deck having ourselves a Julie McCoy sandwich. Fortunately for Lange and whatsherface,
