Carly Fiorina Announces Senate Candidacy, Immediately Highlights Political Ignorance
It's fitting that Carly Fiorinia just announced her senate candidacy with the word "Admittedly." The former HP CEO hated voting, and promises to be more engaged in politics now. Too bad she's still proving her apathy. More » -

Gavin Newsom Will Not Be Governor of California (This Time)
Slick-headed Gavin Newsom has dropped out of the race for California governor, because he's doing terribly in the polls and can't raise any real money. Oh, also his "young family." Now he's stuck running his all-too-filthy city again. More » -

Twitter Violates Republicans' Right to Impersonate Enemies
Republicans set up 33 — 33! — fake Twitter accounts in the names of Democratic state representatives from Connecticut. Twitter Inc. shut the accounts down, "stopping free speech," say Republicans, and retarding innovation indefamationsatire. Typical San Francisco communism. -

How the Swine Flu Joined Glenn Beck and the Huffington Post
Combine two dashes of the Huffington Post's culty, medicine-fearing "Living" section and one dash of Fox News' craziest host, and you've got Love in the Time of Swine Flu. Not even Dr. Dean Ornish could stop these paranoid fellow-travelers. More » -

Another Botched Sales Job for Carly Fiorina

ACORN-Buster's Secret Conservative Sugar Daddy
So much for James O'Keefe as the scrappy, independent sparkplug of conservative media. The 25-year-old, who famously embarrassed ACORN on YouTube, got a five-figure sum that traces back to at least one rich conservative, well known to Silicon Valley. More » -

Childbirth Twittered By Mayor of Overshare City

Andrew Sullivan's Federal Pot Favors
That frenetic political blogger Andrew Sullivan emerged as a loud proponent of marijuana legalization is no surprise; the Catholic gay British conservative is nothing if not idiosyncratic. What is odd is that federal prosecutors want to legalize Sullivan's pot bust. More » -
