gently caress, how does the GOP manage to get crazier and crazier. The running field for 2016 is nuts, and now Gohmert is entering the speakership race.

Speaking of Republican subtext, is the Ames straw poll the place where politicians go to deepthroat sausages in scarring photos?

Reminder that The Gamle continues to be one of the best book on the dynamics of primaries, especially since it focuses on that Romney guy.

Remember in 2010 when McConnell said the main goal was to make Obama a one term President?
The goal now is:


It seems like leadership wants to control the crazy as long as possible so people don't get the wrong idea about the Republican party. Even they know how precarious their position is, but they also know they have a 50/50 shot at winning everything in 2016 if they play their cards right.
Failing that, he can fight to make Obama a two-term president, because we know how much he hates the constitution. :argh:

So what will the gravitational point of a GOP primary be - will it be social-conservatives pulling candidates to the right on abortion, SSM and the like with Bush and Romney trying their best to say as crazy poo poo as possible?

Maybe you thought some Fox News pundit said the dumbest thing today about Obama not visiting Paris. Well, you were wrong. It's never a good idea to bet against the Texas Congressional delegation in such matters.

A new MLK speech has been unearthed. It's powerful:

MLK posted:

It may be true that you can’t legislate integration, but you can legislate desegregation. It may be true that morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. It may be true that the law can’t change the heart, but it can restrain the heartless. It may be true that the law can’t make a man love me, but it can restrain him from lynching me. And I think that’s pretty important also.

Boehner has invited Netanyahu to address Congress about the threat of Iran.

The time window is small, since Netanyahu might not be PM for long.

This is also the 180th anniversary of the first attempted assassination of a President, Andrew Jackson. Richard Lawrence fired a shot at him outside the Capitol, but the gun misfired. Jackson then started to beat Lawrence with his cane. Lawrence pulled a second pistol and fired it point blank, but it also misfired.

The Smithsonian later test fired Lawrence's pistols and they both worked on the first attempt without issue.
