* Ta-Nehisi Coates usefully details the evolving truth about Ron Paul’s responsibility for those racist newsletters.
* James Vega, interpreting a Times op-ed by Pew’s Andy Kohut, explains crucial difference in public perceptions of “inequality” and “unfairness.”

Unless you live in Florida, it should be a relatively quiet political weekend, although Hotline On Call notes that Pennsylvania’s Republican state committee is meeting to endorse one of three candidates that might ultimately face Sen. Bob Casey this November.
I do not normally plan to blog on weekends, but will be back for temporary duty tomorrow, at which time I will introduce a guest-blogger for Sunday.
Selah.
