More Arrests in Mississippi Scandal

The weirdest political scandal ever: Authorities say the vice chairman of the Mississippi Tea Party and two other men conspired with Clayton Kelly to photograph U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran’s bedridden wife in her nursing home and create a political video against Cochran. Mark Mayfield of Ridgeland, an attorney and state and local tea party leader, […]

Adm. McRaven: Mandatory Palate Cleanser

by Smitty Savor all ~20 minutes of this: McRaven is the antithesis of Obama’s fatuousness. I’m just posting this here for ready reference after the next installment of Barack’s Caillou-esque blather.
