While TWD Was Silent........This Has Been Happening on TRONN (UPDATED with correction from Kagro X)

Thanks to Jed, here's video of the authorities confirming that James von Bunn had an illegal gun. The NRA, of course, has no comment on this, although no one asked them, to be fair:


Crooks and Liars has video of the WHO saying the swine flu is a "pandemic."


Jane Hamsher over at her site Firedoglake says that Rahm Emmanuel is forcing pork in the conference report titled Cash for Clunkers. Now to make sure things are straight instead of doing Campbell Brown like journalism, Obama never said that pork barrel spending would all be gone. He said that wasteful projects would be cut. But we'll see, and it appears so, that the pork Emmanuel is pushing is wasteful.

David Waldman reports that Joe "Smug" Lieberman got his wish. His amendment stays thanks to some in the House.

UPDATED: David has corrected me, the Lieberman amendment is still OUT.

Media Matters makes Newt Gingrich look stupid again.

Also, they show that sometimes, Joe isn't as dumb as he thinks. Well, in terms of political strategy that is


Think Progress shows how stupid and shrill Megyn Kelly is when she at her worst.

And from the many terrific posts from the great Duncan "Atrios" Black, he responses to Republican Party leader Rush Limbaugh calling von Bunn, yesterday's shooter, a "liberal." Huh?

We've spent several years having fundamentalist anti-women anti-gay Muslim extremists being somehow aligned with liberals, and now anti-government anti-Semitic white supremacists are as well.

By that criteria, I guess Limbaugh will soon call Jon Voight, Joe the Pumber, and Pat Buchanan a "liberal" soon.
