AN IMPENETRABLE PROGRESSIVE BUBBLE: Axelrod: Obama win will 'liberate' Republicans to work with president.

MAN ALLEGEDLY beats school bus driver to death after he accidentally knocked off mirror. The car that the bus hit was double-parked.

I dislike being cynical, but does anyone want to take bets on the value of the car and the political leaning of the assailant?

“IT’S NOT HIS RACE. It’s that he’s awful.”

I COULD WEAR a 'utilikilt' since I look like a dork no matter what I wear.

AMATEUR HOUR at the White House. Actually I have more respect for real amateurs; the White House doesn't even measure up to the amateur standard.

NEW YORK TIMES Columnist Charles Blow(hard): Those kids who bullied the bus monitor remind me of Republicans.

Whether it is a Republican debate audience booing a gay soldier or Rush Limbaugh’s vicious attack on a female Georgetown law student or Newt Gingrich’s salvos at the poor, bullying has become boilerplate.

But of course; only Republicans evil. From the comments:

Wow, I have to admit when I saw this I couldn't figure out a way to tie it to Republicans or conservatives. Thank you to the author for using this story to reinforce to me how bad Romney's party is. Obviously these kids are all from red states who mistakenly were on a bus in a blue state. I think all these kids really need is a hug.

FASTER! SCOTUS is coming.

MARK STEYN: Americans are such hicks that "we regard the first member of the Invented-American community to make it to the White House as a kinda weird development rather than an encouraging sign of how a new post-racial, post-gender, post-modern America is moving beyond the old straightjackets of black and white, male and female, gay and straight, real and hallucinatory."

OBAMACARE: Rip it out, root and branch.

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: Why Obama Will Lose in a Landslide.

My thoughts as well.

JEFF JACOBY: "... one more sad reminder of how easy it can be to view everything through a partisan lens, and to assume that the best gauge of someone's integrity is the "R" or "D" after his name." Sadly, I think that judgment is proving to be accurate.

BAD KARMA: Jogger targeted by teens turns out to be Kung Fu expert.

ANOTHER REASON FOR TORT REFORM: New Jersey woman hit with baseball sues Little League player. In addition to 'loser pays', the lawyer who brings a frivolous suit to court should be disbarred.

WHAT? You need gloves to pick up empty shell casings? Another reason why OSHA needs to go.
