Piercing

I continue to enjoy Charles Pierce's blog. Today guest Tom Junod talks about liberal condescension (which may be my favorite thing about my political orientation), and Pierce himself does it to Rick Santorum

He had the right to expect better than to be reduced to being the undercard in the low-class donkey show into which the "fight" between Romney and Gingrich has devolved. Two colossal fakes, one with more money, gulling the rubes by pretending in many cases to be what Rick Santorum has been his entire career, for good and ill. Meanwhile, Santorum is the purest product out there of what the conservative movement transformed the Republican party to produce. It may, in fact, be true that Rick Santorum is too much of a modern Republican for the modern Republican party to nominate. He may be the mirror into which his party is afraid to gaze.

Pink Punk-out

I think this is the best summary of the craven performance of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. In a sentence, "Foundation organized to find cure for cancer ends funding for cancer screenings." Don't give them a nickel.
