  • Legislation in the Wilmington, Delaware city council would give rights of personhood to sperm and egg cells separately -- which is insane (and meant to be).

  • Leaving behind a political movement hungry to take up his mantle, Andrew Breitbart's project seems somewhat unfinished.

  • "Move Your Money," a new ad by MoveOn Civic Action, calls for the 99% to occupy community banks and credit unions with their money. This reversal, calling for the embrace of competition in banking, has left me nearly speechless.

  • I wish Matt Yglesias was really stupid enough to attribute this stuff to carelessness. Sadly, he's smart enough to be manipulative with data to try to achieve an ideological end.
