• Who is Scott Brown? Apparently, not the enemy the Left originally made him out to be. (Not that he’s ideal, of course. But then, he’s willing to vote pro-choice and pro-gay rights despite his personal opinions otherwise just because his constituents lean that way, so that already seems to make him the most integral Senator currently in office, as far as I know.)

• Former Arkansas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee gives interview to student journalist Michael Tracey of College of New Jersey presenting his ridiculous anti-gay rights views. Tracey writes about said interview and ridiculous anti-gay rights views. Huckabee responds by attacking Tracey. Tracey bites back by releasing full, unedited interview video, corroborating with his journalism and fully discrediting Huckabee, along with a terrific reply: “[…] his words speak for themselves, and it is a shame that he is now so quickly embarrassed of them.”. Sweet.
