Politics: It’s decision time: Prospective 2012 candidates start making choices

  • no Rep. Mike Pence has announced that he won’t run for President in 2012, as many had speculated. Instead, he’ll have a run at the Indiana Governorship.
  • maybe Sen. John Thune of South Dakota is close to deciding whether or not to throw his hat in the 2012 ring, telling Politico that he’ll “fish or cut bait soon.”
  • yes?The big shocker is that Jon Huntsman, Obama’s Ambassador to China, is reportedly “leaning” towards a run. We’ll believe it when we see it. source

Politics: Max Headroom: Mark Zuckerberg softens up in the PR machine

  • So, what’s new?This morning, Republican Rep. Mike Pence found himself in the somewhat undesirable spot of explaining how the Republican’s “Pledge to America” was different from the plans they’ve sold in the past. Blame Jon Stewart.
  • Not-so-double-standard Our boy Fareed Zakaria had a pretty good point regarding some of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s criticism of the U.S., specifically with the death penalty – simply put, Iran is a really big pot calling a relatively small kettle black.
  • Not such a bad guy!As Oprah proved on her show, that Mark Zuckerberg guy isn’t such a jerk. See? He’s going to Japan with his beautiful girlfriend! He lets people skateboard on the job! How could this guy be the subject of an Aaron Sorkin hit piece?

Politics: Max Headroom: Mitch McConnell swears on live TV. Awesome!


  • Skip to the 2:00 mark Mitch McConnell said a lot of stuff about health care and how he hates the Democrats in this interview on “Fox News Sunday,” but we only heard him say one word. And yes, it’s a profanity. Way to go, Senator! You’re a regular Rahm Emanuel!

  • Mike Pence can’t spell On “Meet the Press,” Rep. Mike Pence manages to get past the creepy guy at the 5 second mark to complain about the upcoming health care summit, which he claims the Democrats will spell S-E-T-U-P. Wait a second …

  • Bayh a “corporatist”? On “Larry King Live” the other night, Bill Maher said some damning things about Evan Bayh. “He’ll become a lobbyist now, which is what he was before.” Oof! The meat is in the first minute and a half, but the rest is good, too.
