Analysis of ridiculous indictment of Perry.
"They say a prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, and this always seemed like hyperbole, until Friday night a Texas grand jury announced an indictment of governor Rick Perry. The “crime” for which Perry faces a sentence of 5 to 99 years in prison is vetoing funding for a state agency. The conventions of reporting —  which treat the fact of an indictment as the primary news, and its merit as a secondary analytic question —  make it difficult for people reading the news to grasp just how farfetched this indictment is."
No kidding.

LA considers paying prizes to voters to increase turnout.

Washington Post claims Republican party dominated by libertarians. What a joke.

Obama splitting Democrats over illegal immigration.
