Stay Classy, Scott Brown

The junior Senator from Massachusetts’ Ken Buck “high heels” moment? TPM: Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) was interviewed on a local talk radio show Thursday morning.

Stay Classy, “National Organization For Marriage”

“Pro-family” conservative group National Organization For Marriage welcomes Caspian Julius, son of Rep. Jared Polis and Marlon Reis, into the world via Twitter yesterday.

( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Under normal circumstances, I’d slam KHOW’s Caplis and Silverman for letting Colorado’s Secretary of State breeze onto their show Wednesday, assert that there’s a “pretty high incidence of fraud” among one type of Denver voters, and then depart without being forced to explain what in the world he was […]
