Alexi Giannoulias is a Democrat running for Senate in Illinois. Here is the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s anti-Alexi Giannoulias attack ad that is basically season two of the Wire (the Greeks, not the Poles or the blacks) plus the Sopranos finale, minus Journey, divided by Rod Blagojevich.

Let’s all play this game in which we try to guess Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein’s bonus. Won’t be depressing at all. [New York Times] Toyota recalled many Priuses (Prii?) because of brake problems. Although, if a car crashes and ceases to exist, can you even imagine how that will like erase its carbon footprint?

Everyone very respectfully say “cya bye” to “Scorecard,” one of the POLITICO’s many manifestations that sound like they might have to do with a sex thing, but tragically do not. And as POLITICO is incapable of writing about events that it cannot force into the narrative of a campaign, “Scorecard” has already been replaced by [...]
Casual warmonger Daniel Pipes is as serious about this as he is that mustache.
Autocratic mayor of Facebook Sarah Palin needs a new feud, because no one has paid her any attention in like a week. And luckily for Palin, it seems her Google Alert for “Rahm Emanuel retarded” is solid fucking gold today, as she has declared war with Emanuel for referring to attempts to pressure Senate centrists [...]
The Tea Party Convention thing in Nashville will be broadcast on teevee, for a reason that apparently exists. [New York Times] Abstinence-only education works after all, which means the government will probably deploy a slightly re-worked “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (Anything)” policy in our nation’s middle schools. [Washington Post] Obama’s asked for $230 million in [...]

Although, you can tell it’s probably more of an A-, which is essentially just a B+ that wept in the professor’s office after class. Also, it so good the poll is set against the background of outer space, because of the word “scientific.” [Fox News/A+ for tipster "Melissa P.'s" first year as President of the [...]
Samuel Alito was on his absolute worst behavior last night, mouthing “not true, not true” when Obama criticized last week’s Supreme Court decision to allow corporations to download elections and politicians from iTunes. Anyway, sad thing for many South Carolinans today, when they eventually find out they cannot elect Samuel Alito. [TPMtv]
For the record, Obama is totally into jobs now, not health care. [New York Times] Obama also called for a repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, which means all those Facebook petitions worked!! [Los Angeles Times] Meet this latest thing you will own! It is called the iPad, and has literally no function other than [...]
Ha, oh this clown. But why is he not “following” Meghan McCain, the John McCain of Meghan McCain’s Twitter? [Twitter]
Alternately, this gestures means “POLITICO” in American sign language. [Nein Glied!]
