• A draft article for your Washington Post‘s “Style” section was so terrible that editor Henry Allen straight-up punched writer Manuel Roig-Franzia. That’s one way to encourage better journalism. (Washingtonian)
• Democrats and Republicans cannot agree on many things, including which American political party is most like terrorists. (WaPo/ThinkProgress)
• Sarah Palin is making robocalls for Republican VA-Gov candidate Bob McDonnell, despite being explicitly told by the McDonnell campaign to keep her crazy away from that race. (CNN Political Ticker)
• Rep. Joe “You lie!” Wilson (R-SC) blames Barack Obama for not vaccinating all of America against swine flu instantly, even though Joe Wilson and 95% of Republicans voted against swine flu vaccine. (TPMDC)
