Over at my place, we've got posts up on Michele Bachmann's anti-gay, anti-porn pledge, the Koch brothers' ridiculous privacy claims, and Orrin Hatch's anti-poor meanness, among many others. I hope you like them.

Beeryblog: Bloodlusting Texas executes a Mexican national. So much for the Vienna Convention.

I Tried Being Tasteful...: Bristol Palin shows up at a Texas Wal-Mart for a book signing. It was all rather underwhelming.

Bob Broughton: Obama has a secret weapon in the debt ceiling debate. But he's shown no willingness to play hardball.
