Professional race baiter decries ‘unconscionable racially charged attack’
Rush Limbaugh has become the Bizarro Farrakhan, seeing racism at every turn. The only victims, of course, are whites and Herman Cain. “Politico and the mainstream media has launched an unconscionable, racially stereotypical attack on an independent, self-reliant conservative black because for him that behavior is not allowed,” Limbaugh said today on his radio show.

Mitt was for everything before he was against it
The latest example: Climate change. Interesting to note this reversal occurred within just four months (via Andrew Sullivan): “I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. And number two, I believe that humans contribute to that. I don’t know how much our contribution is to that, because I know that [...]
