Four-day-old Chinese food sure does make for a tasty Second Breakfast, a necessity for Pacific Standard Time news-cycle bloggers as it is for hobbits. If you’d like to help defray the bargain-basement cost of PA, please contribute what you can today. And thank you!
Here are some midday news/views treats for your lunch (or Second Breakfast!):
* Mark Udall doesn’t much beat around the bush: “The CIA is lying” in denying the documentation in the Torture Report summary. Sometimes lame-duck senators can be refreshing.
* Paul Waldman offers a few inconvenient facts to those who claim no other countries (other than the awesome U.S.!) apologizes for their mistakes.
* DSCC more than 20 million smackers in debt.
* Scott Walker once said to Jewish constituent: “Thank you and Molotov!” Reminds me of Alabaman who wished Jewish teacher a “Happy Chaka Khan.”
* In a column I wish I’d read before writing my own for TPMCafe, Harry Enten suggests Dems should chill about “losing” South.
And in non-political news:
* Letterman’s last show will be on May 20.
As we break for lunch, here’s my favorite White Stripes song, performed in Paris in 2007: “Ball and Biscuit.”
