"FOX did not drop the dime, we did," writes blogger Howie on the Jawa Report. "Given the quick death of the video and its nature, which Ill elaborate on more later, we sent it along through the proper channels. Just to be sure." TPM was unable to independently verify Howie's claims. "Would...

The United States, represented by Roberts, was siding with Nevada in arguing that the ...

Congress remembers the Constitution
"If the new Congress to be sworn in on Wednesday is the Tea Party's cardinal achievement so far, its most symbolic achievement will come on Thursday, when the first order of business in the House will be a reading, aloud, of the Constitution.

Today the national retail average for Gasoline is $3.07, which is higher than it's been since 2008. But instead of freaking out about that, the media has been focusing on the possibility of $5 per gallon Gasoline in 2012, a claim made by former Shell President John Hofmeister. Hofmeister's point (he heads a non-profit called Citizens...
