Since Team Romney’s understanding of the use of venn diagrams is hazier than a Bain Capital tax return, Mitt, Venn and Now has stepped up to help demonstrate just what these clever charts are meant to do. Williard, kindly have a seat and put your dunce cap back on.

Pirate Party finds downloading of copyrighted material in House of Commons
Shawn Vulliez is the vice-president of the Pirate Party of Canada, a ragtag bunch of politically engaged computer geeks who believe that Internet copyright laws should be minimal and information sharing encouraged on the Web. The Pirates recently tracked downloads in the House of Commons and discovered that pirating copyrighted material — including Adele, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and, especially popular, Maroon 5 — is common practice among our politicos.

Iran is flexing it’s military muscle.
Over the weekend, the country announced that it had fired two long-range missile tests. The missiles were capable of hitting within 10-20 miles of the closest US military base.
The announcement came after 10 days of exercises in the Gulf, which included a test of shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, and a claim the country had created its first nuclear fuel rod.
A small but critical passageway, the Strait is used to transport over 40 percent of the world’s oil supply. Iran has threatened to close the Strait if sanctions are placed on its nuclear program.
As tension rises, the United States and Israel have not ruled out military action against Iran.
They’re going to come after me more viciously than they would a white candidate…. To use Clarence Thomas as an example, I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching that he went through - for the good of this country. I’m ready for the same high-tech lynching.

An intense moment of truth with mainstream media.. Love this ’I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it’ moment from Dylan Ratigan.
In a conversation with a show panel about the country’s debt and credit downgrade, MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan passionately calls both the Democratic and Republican economic plans, “reckless, irresponsible and stupid.”
Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, the former Libyan strongman who fled into hiding after rebels toppled his regime two months ago in the Arab Spring’s most tumultuous uprising, was killed Thursday as fighters battling the vestiges of his loyalist forces wrested control of his hometown of Surt, the interim government announced.

Michele Bachman blames Obama for the Arab Spring. Yes, 'blames.'
Michele Bachmann says the wave of democratic uprisings in the Middle East is because of Barack Obama. Well, all right, if you say so - but Bachmann didn’t mean it as a compliment. No, in Michele Bachmann’s mind, this is a very bad thing:
At a campaign stop Thursday in North Carolina, U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann blamed Pres. Barack Obama for the outbreak of the Arab Spring, the wave of democracy uprisings across the Middle East.
[…]
Bachman linked the Arab Spring, which has resulted in pro-democracy uprisings in countries like Egypt, Syria and Libya, to the President’s earlier stance that negotiations between Israel and Palestine should begin at the 1967 boundaries.
“And when he called upon Israel to retreat to it’s indefensible 1967 boarders, don’t you think that message wasn’t lost to Israel’s 26 hostile neighbors,” Bachmann said. “You want to know why we have a Arab Spring. Barack Obama has laid the table for Arab Spring by demonstrating weakness from the United States of America.”
So, for Bachmann, citizens in the Middle East rising up against dictatorships to demand democracy is a bad thing. Why exactly? I’m not sure. It appears that democracy and jihad are indistinguishable to Bachmann; given her constant supposition that forcing her own religious beliefs on the rest of America constitutes freedom and democracy, however, I suppose it is understandable that she can’t quite grasp the difference.
