Rand Paul thinks that the tragedy of Hurricane Sandy is that the money sent to people saying, in his words, "Gimme, gimme, gimme", means that there's less money left over for defense spending. This is in response to the fight Chris Christie picked with him by calling Paul weak on national security.
The nice thing about a mudfight is that everyone gets dirty. A special bonus in this one is that the lesser Paul actually thinks he can be President, so he's far more eager than his father to throw his libertarian principles into the trash as soon as any one of them stands between him and a primary victory.

Turns out that Mitt Romney isn't the only failed candidate serving up some revisionist campaign history this week! On Friday, Sarah Palin went on Greta Van Susteren's televisual shouting festival and revealed that during the 2008 campaign, "elitists" in John McCain "banned" her from flying her freak flag and talking about Barack Obama's connections to Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, two people who were never mentioned during the campaign.

Pope Francis reached out to gays on Monday, saying he wouldn't judge priests for their sexual orientation in a remarkably open and wide-ranging news conference as he returned from his first foreign trip.
"If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" Francis asked.
Good question. I have a couple more: Are you going to tell that to the bishops? And how about a few deeds to back up the pretty words?

ZOMBIES FIND CASHING IN ON FARM SUBSIDIES MORE LUCRATIVE THAN VOTING
So the GOP has been on a tirade about combating voter fraud by dead people, even though after spending millions of dollars like the folks in South Carolina, they find out that dead people aren't voting, because they are dead and zombies aren't real. However, we now learn that dead people are storing up treasures in heaven, apparently, because they are totally cashing in money from farm subsidies! According to The Hill:
GAO looked at data from 2008 to 2012 and "found that $22 million in subsidies and allowances may have been provided on behalf of an estimated 3,434 program policyholders two or more years after death."
In response, we can expect the GOP to cut food stamps by an additional $22 million, to make up the difference.

Mittens Romney swears he never said that 47% percent of American wouldn't take personal responsibility for their lives, but that this was what he was perceived as saying. Here's the actual quote: "And so my job is not to worry about those people -- I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." Yeah, I can see how people could perceive that as meaning that they won't take personal responsibility and care for their lives -- mostly because that's exactly what Romney said. A word of advice for Mitt: the campaign is over, you can stop lying now.

4 People Dead After Shooting in Clarksburg
If the shooter was black, the racists would be full of outrage.
Walking Ambien tablet George Will has a creative explanation for Detroit's bankruptcy: It's not about factories closing or jobs moving overseas or a declining tax base or anything to do with economics, really. Detroit is a basket case because "their problems are cultural." Marvel at his impressive code-word gymnastics in this clip from ABC's This Week, where Will manages to avoid saying "black" even once.
