Yesterday @JazzShaw walked away with the Debt Ceiling Tweet of the Day, and the challenge to @Iowahawkblog to "man up" was left unanswered. But today Iowahawk takes the prize (even though the day is young): ...

Is Al Sharpton too in the tank for Obama to be appropriate even for MSNBC?  Glenn Greenwald, who, like a stopped clock, is correct on rare occasions, notes: I assumed it was hyperbole -- until I watched the video and read the transcript of the Sharpton interview.  The 60 Minutes segment was...
