• Hilarious!  Politico reports opposition to the non-existent threat of sharia law has become a staple amongst GOP presidential candidates.  Repeal Health Care for 32 million Americans, Abolish Medicare, Ban Sharia!!  How can anyone vote Republican?

• A preacher in Pennsylvania has been caught in a web of lies about being a Navy Seal.  The truth is, he wasn't.  My guess is he's not going to be the only person this happens to.

• Newt Gingrich's third wife of whom was his mistress when Newt was busy impeaching President Clinton, is poised to play a central role in his presidential run.  No doubt his campaign will focus on his usual issues of moral values, small government and his belief in God.

• Remember Republicans don't want you to mention Iraq in the context that it allowed bin Laden to roam free.  If we are to mention Iraq it's only to be in the context that Saddam was a threat and we got him.

• Great read from the libertarian CATO Institute: "How Bush Lost bin Laden."
