Start here and then I’ll keep an open thread tomorrow, as well. But since Obama and Romney are going to be “interviewed” by the hyper-liberal Chris Berman at half time of the Saints-Eagles game — Obama’s years of missing intel meetings so he could catch SportsCenter may actually come in handy here, provided no one asks him to throw a baseball — I figure it’s a good place to begin

“Proof: Obama Refused to Call Benghazi ‘Terror,’ CBS Covered Up”
Breitbart: In an astonishing display of media malpractice, CBS News quietly released proof–two days before the election, far too late to reach the media and the public–that President Barack Obama lied to the public about the Benghazi attack, as well as about his later claim to have called the attack “terrorism” from the beginning. CBS unveiled additional footage from its 60 Minutes interview with President Obama, conducted on Sep. 12 immediately
“John Cusack producing, starring in Rush Limbaugh movie”
Well, why not? After all, Cusack is an intellectual, you see. A thoughtful heterodox. A thinking man who even took on the unpopular role of trying to re-imagine Hitler’s basic humanity. So really, after Hitler, Limbaugh was the next logical step for a man so willing to push himself in an effort to understand the often charismatic contours of evil, right? Actor and outspoken liberal John Cusack is developing a
“The U.S. is spending $900,000 to train women for jobs as entrepreneurs – in Peru and El Salvador”
You’ve gone a long way, baby! The U.S. is spending $900,000 to help women start businesses and create jobs–in Peru and El Salvador. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the new Women’s Entrepreneurship Trust Fund last month on visit to the Peruvian capital of Lima. “The United States is making an initial contribution of $900,000 to launch pilot programs here in Peru and in El Salvador,” Clinton said on October
Just a reminder, for those who are interested in individual autonomy
“New Obamacare Tax Form Mandates Americans Report Personal Health ID Info to IRS”: When Obamacare’s individual mandate takes effect in 2014, all Americans who file income tax returns must complete an additional IRS tax form. The new form will require disclosure of a taxpayer’s personal identifying health information in order to determine compliance with the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate. As confirmed by IRS testimony to the tax-writing House Committee
“JPMorgan economist: It could take 44 years to get back to full employment”
44. Interesting number. Pethokoukis: During the past two years — what should be the fat part of the U.S. economic recovery — job growth has averaged about 150,000 jobs a month. While that is better than nothing and better than losing jobs, the pace of job creation is way too slow given the depressed state of the American labor market. Take into account the following: a) we need roughly 100,000
I don’t do polls. But some of you do. So.
“Parsing the Polls,” Michael G Franc: Last week, the Gallup Organization provided more fodder for the debate over whether this year’s polls are skewed due to a systematic over-representation of Democrats in the samples. If Gallup has it right, Governor Romney’s lead may be several percentage points greater than the most recent round of polls suggests. Gallup reviewed all of its interviews with “likely voters” conducted since October 1. Its
“Main Street in Revolt”
Salena Zito, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review editorial page columnist, at RCP: If Romney wins the presidency on Tuesday, the national media, the Washington establishment and the bulk of academia will have missed something huge that happened in “flyover” America under their watch. It is a story that few have told. It reminds one of the famous quip by New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael following Richard Nixon’s landslide 1972 victory: “I live
“GENERATION DEBT: Every American Under 18 Now Owes $218,676”
CNS: If Americans under the age of 18 were required as a group to pay off the entirety of the federal government’s debt in equal shares, each would now need to pay about $218,676. That is more than the $130,468 average price tag for four years at a private college or the $173,100 median price for an existing one-family home in the United States. During the time Barack Obama has
