USA Today: New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton has been suspended for one year and the team will lose its second round pick in 2012 and ’13 and pay $500,000 as a result of the NFL’s bounty investigation, the league announced Wednesday. Former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who orchestrated the program, has been suspended from the NFL indefinitely. Saints general manager Mickey Loomis also faces an eight-game suspension and

Media Matters being, of course, a tax-exempt, non-ideological organization operating here without any kind of GOP establishment push back in the United States of Claims to Progressivism Liberate You from Charges of Bias, Hypocrisy, and Immorality. What the anti-foundationalism of the linguistic turn taught the organized Left is that, if they can show that there is no ultimate authority to whom one can appeal to adjudicate disputes — no objective

Andrew Malcolm has his thoughts. I have mine: from reports I’ve heard and read — and in speaking to a friend of mine in Chicago — the Romney campaign literally flooded the Illinois media market with attack ads on Rick Santorum. That, and Illinois is mostly evil. Keep in mind that this is the same Romney campaign that is on record as saying they won’t be attacking Barack Obama in

And what it’s like actually to fight against one. Some perspective, for those who find it convenient rhetorically to confuse IUDs with IEDs. (thanks to James D)

Thing is, there is so much of this kinda stuff out there that, were it marshaled properly, would severely undercut Obama’s current attempts to pretend he’s the oil and gas President.
