I'll be back with DRFBing in a bit, but first, here's some good stuff to read.
Joe Conason says "put up (evidence, that is) or shut up" to all the howler monkeys claiming that Al Franken stole the election in Minnesota (never mind the long, methodical recount, the bipartisan election supervision, etc. etc. etc.).
Brian Clark Howard at The Daily Green details "The 6 Most Idiotic Positions of Dr. Sanjay Gupta" (h/t ProRev). Jeebus, he couldn't even see through the Raelians? Obama wants this guy to be Surgeon General? Yikes.
William Rivers Pitt writes eloquently of "The Greatest Greatness of George W. Bush." Basically, it's the living, breathing, dancing, groping, clowning, choking example he provides of everything we must avoid in the future.
Sam Smith says to liberals and progressives that it's "Time to Stop Being Afraid of Israel." Right. Freaking. On.
Andrew Leonard finds another silver lining in the gathering economic clouds: with any luck, the gathering storm will ring the death knell for market worshipers, deregulation fetishists, Ayn Randians, and all the other ideobozos who make the current mess.
Mixed metaphors sold separately.
