Despite Anti-Census Rhetoric, Bachmann's District Returning Forms at High Rate
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyRep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has been outspoken in her opposition to the U.S. Census, calling the national head count government intrusion and connecting it to ACORN and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Minnesota -- along with South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Indiana -- ranks in the top five for forms returned so far, according to The City Pages in Minneapolis-St. Paul. The counties making up Bachmann's district have had exceptionally ...

Evil Mr. Rogers Fox News Clip Makes Rounds of Humorless Liberals
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyMarkos Moulitsas tweeted a story about Fox News' "F'ing Crazy" assertion that Mr. Rogers is evil. That is a crazy thing to say. I checked it out, and this is the hot story on Digg! right now. (Yes, I'm jealous.)There's a corresponding story at Daily Kos, too, also decrying Fox's insanity at making the claim that Mr' Rogers is evil. Tough to argue with. There are 2 problems with this story. First, the YouTube clip is from December. Isn't there a statute of limitations on this stuff?Secondly, there's the clip itself. I want to start by saying that I am as liberal as it gets. I had my kids form a ...
