Tuesday's Clips

With the kids out of town for the week you'd think I'd be writing more. But we're in the middle of the annual Clean-a-thon. Anyway here's the clips:

Douglas Burns and Craig Robinson have both top ten listed the GOP field for 2012. Most intriguing pick: Burns puts Jeb Bush at #2 on the GOP side. (Don't laugh: Doug was the only guy on the planet who correctly predicted Palin...)

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread," wrote Anatole France, and Brabara Ehrenreich says that's our guiding principle today: making it illegal to be poor.

Karma of the week: "Idiot Protests Socialized Health Care and Then Has To Beg For Money To Pay Medical Bills."
