  1. A common mistake<\/a> – Yes, Reagan and Dubya both referred to “E pluribus unum” as the national motto … yet, somehow, the Right didn’t throw a conniption. Wonder why?<\/li>\n
  2. A gamble Republicans were willing to take<\/a> – “Regardless, there’s a larger truth here — Republicans know the Noise Machine lets votes like these slip under the radar, and without scrutiny, the GOP, already lacking in shame, feels comfortable taking steps that should be scandalous, but aren’t.”<\/li>\n
  3. Will Atheists and Muslims Be Staffing The “Ark Encounter”?<\/a> – Ah, the difficulties of entangling church and state … in the end, both sides lose.<\/li>\n
  4. McCain Flashback: \u2018I Would Clearly Support Not Extending [Bush] Tax Cuts In Order To Help Address The Deficit\u2019<\/a> – Is there, actually, anything that McCain has not changed his position on, in an attempt to stay in power and\/or “relevant”?<\/li>\n

  6. Health Insurers Taught Republicans How To Oppose The Public Option<\/a> – “This is fairly significant because it once again reaffirms the existence of a messaging pipeline which stretches from the industry to the lobbyist to the lawmaker and to Fox \u2014 and not necessarily in that order.”<\/li>\n
