Donate to Dems in tough districts who voted for HCR without needing Bart Stupak to tell them that it was ok. Or, donate to this list of Dems who have had their offices vandalized. Thanks to reader Menzies for compiling it.

Simple Question For Andrew McCarthy And Friends
When the government accuses someone of terrorism it means that the person is a terrorist. Right? The indictment sounds pretty clear: we captured a bunch of religious fundamentalist extremists planning mass casualty attacks against America. Unlike, say, Jose Padilla or any of the clown car gangs whom Bush rounded up this team had the gear [...]

Voyeur West Hollywood
This is from the Carlsonington Post, so take it with a grain of salt of course: Once on the ground, FEC filings suggest, Steele travels in style. A February RNC trip to California, for example, included a $9,099 stop at the Beverly Hills Hotel, $6,596 dropped at the nearby Four Seasons, and $1,620.71 spent at [...]

A Keeper
The AP dug up a few facts about the Tea Party of Nevada candidate for Harry Reid’s seat, who’s facing a $5K felony bad check charge: Records show Ashjian lost his state contractor’s license Wednesday after failing to appear for a disciplinary proceeding stemming from a complaint that he bounced a $981.82 check to a [...]

On the Upside, They Will Make a Great Team Another Remake of the Longest Yard
I’m about as diehard a Steelers fan as they get, but I am sick and tired of this crap: Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger isn’t the only member of the Steelers currently facing challenges via the legal system. Receiver Santonio Holmes, the MVP of Super Bowl XLIII, faces a civil lawsuit for assault and battery. According to [...]

Founders Keepers, losers, weepers
This should be a great read: An early hint may come in June, when Beck publishes his book The Overton Window, which he described as “a story of America in a time much like today where the people are confused,” with a government in crisis and the rise of a citizens’ group called the Founders [...]

Militia Raid Update
Does anyone have any insight as to what is going on here: A Christian militia group was a target of at least one of a series of weekend raids the FBI conducted in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, a Michigan militia leader says. The FBI said Sunday that it had conducted raids in the three states, [...]

On the Other Hand, You Could Try to Read What You Are Linking
This is pretty rich: BRITISH: “Special Relationship” with U.S. Is Dead. UPDATE: Reader Paul Jackson writes: Who could have foreseen that the president who follows Obama will have to hit the reset button…..with Great Britain and Israel And the list may grow longer, he’s only been president for 14 months. India anyone? Yeah, so far [...]

Teabagger v Closet Case
Reading some of the coverage of last night’s Crist/Rubio Fox News debate, and the coverage of the race in general, just makes me think about things that cannot be discussed. One of the real issues in voters’ minds must be the recent poor track record of beard-loving closet cases. Setting aside homophobia, there’s a real [...]

Early Morning Open Thread
At last, penis jokes that involve a religion other than Catholicism! Glen Runcifer at Defamer explains a NYPost interview with J.D. Shapiro, winner of the “Worst Picture of the Decade” Razzie: Shapiro—who also wrote Robin Hood: Men in Tights and, um, X-Treme Biography: Santa—blames this film’s existence and resolute awfulness on two things: His penis [...]

You probably heard about this: At least seven people, including some from Michigan, have been arrested in raids by a FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana as part of an investigation into an Adrian-based Christian militia group, a person familiar with the matter said.[....]Sources have said the FBI was in the [...]

Slow boat to China
It’s not every day that I think Ramesh Ponnuru gets it right. Yes, Friedman’s “radical center” piece is an easy target, but this is a smart point nevertheless: Friedman justifies the “radical” tag by emphasizing the distance between his agenda and “politics as usual.” His real analytical problem, though, comes with the word “center.” The [...]

Master of His Domain
Someone is very much liking his new windows: He spent the entire morning making guttural sounds at the birds through the screen door. And that is a grease smudge on his back- apparently he found his way to the garage.

The Father, the Son, and the Wolverines
Although I usually can’t take too much Frank Bruni, this is good: And it distilled the church’s profound defensiveness toward the secular world, a longstanding posture and a prominent theme in abuse cases that have recently attracted attention. The church’s fundamental and deliberate separation from secular society — in terms of how it sees its [...]
