That will be the last time I refer to the round of 64 as "round two". Stupid play-in games. And stupid Marquette for blowing my bracket halfway to St. Louis. (Also, with respect to the Hoyas: "Actual Jesuits could play better than Georgetown is right now.").

Grant Hill's response to being thought of as an "Uncle Tom". Ta-Nehisi Coates has characteristically insightful comments.
Minnesota Republicans propose criminalizing possession of money by the poor. No, seriously.
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) was for Romneycare before he decided it was a "colossal mistake".
Color me unconvinced, but Ed Kilgore thinks Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) could make a serious play in the Iowa caucuses. If it happens, it won't be because she's less "flawed" than Palin (I'm unconvinced that she's actually more media savvy), but because Republican crazification can never be underestimated.

Hispanics are not fleeing the Republican Party because few Hispanics have ever supported Republican candidates, especially in California.
The question that the article skipped over is whether any form on a conservative party could ever appeal to Hispanic voters. Of course, the answer is no.
And if California is any indication, politics in the U.S. will be a disaster once the U.S. becomes a one party state.
