Fuck you, Bibi!

Wow. When Romney backer Donald Trump repeated Mitt's Chrysler-Jeep lie on Twitter, Chrysler Group Vice President for Product Design Ralph Gilles tweeted back, "You are full of shit!" You really don't get a more definitive statement than that. My favorite story of the day, by an insanely wide margin. Freakin' hilarious.

This is interesting: a new study finds that polls asking who respondents think will win are more predictive than those that ask who they're going to vote for. So who do Americans think is going to win next Tuesday? Barack Obama -- it's not even a contest.

The Clackamas County, Oregan Elections Office is under investigation by the state Department of Justice for possible ballot tampering.

A temporary election worker allegedly filled in a straight Republican ticket where voters had left blank preferences. It is unclear how many ballots were affected, but, as Blue Oregon notes, this is not the first time Clackamas County has come under scrutiny for foul play.

Krugman: Karl Rove's Mission Accomplished

"Christie would help more if he could suspend New Jersey's foolish law forbidding price increases of more than 10% during an "emergency," and if he'd apologize for bragging that the state will crack down on price "gouging!" …What politicians call "gouging" is just the free market.

At long last sirs have you left no sense of decency?

Despite best effort< Geraldo Rivera unable to convince Fox & Friends Obama did not personally murder Amb. Christopher Stevens

Well this is very interesting/terrifying/depressing/thrilling/outrageous! (And it's from Media Matters, obvs, we will just hang out all day on their site, clicking refresh, apparently.) What you have above is Geraldo Rivera being righteously, Jesus-in-the-temple-with-the-moneychangers PISSED about how Fox News is leading Americans "down the primrose path" and "OBSCENELY LYING" regarding Barack Obama pretty much personally giving the Libyan militias orders to kill our ambassador Christopher Stevens. (Interestingly, we also agree with him on his two points regarding on which avenues of inquiry we'd like to get fuller administration answers.) Disregard Geraldo's self-congratulations on having the wit and insight to have been the one to come up with the name "Benghazigate," and let yourself drift until he starts yelling. Because YELL HE DOES. READ MORE
