Mike's Blog Round Up
August 28, 2014

Look, my friends, President Obama hasn't been perfect. And of course the Democrats in Congress haven't been either, not even close, because they never are. But it's a two-party system, like it or not. And if not the Democrats, whatever their myriad flaws and failings, do you really want Mitch McConnell's Koch-loving gang to take control of the Senate alongside their similarly extremist pals in the House? Seriously.

Human Voices: The conundrum of Republican memory.

Prairie Weather: Darren Wilson has SCOTUS protection.

Infidel753: A Scottish referendum to watch.

Fruits and Votes: The U.S. chose its electoral rules in 1967.

Outside the Beltway: No signs of a Republican wave in 2014.

Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction. (Twitter: @mjwstickings.) I'll be here all week.
