Mash Mish of Stuff

  • Heard this song at Kohl's yesterday. It is from an album that isn't being released until 5/7/14. So damn catchy!

  • Politics on both sides of the aisle:
    • Republicans:
      • Wasn't there a time in American history when "the best candidate" ran for public office? Does someone's fetishes make a candidate "not the best?" Whatever happened to keeping your bedroom life personal? Erick Erickson offers this article:
    • Democrats:
      • From my "Fox News First" daily email:
        Not the best week for Braley - Fox News: “Iowa Senate candidate Bruce Braley has had a tough week after a conservative Super PAC released a video of him mocking GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley as a farmer who has “never been to law school,” and it is only getting worse. The Des Moines Register reported Thursday that a press release the Democratic congressman issued to tout his history of fighting for farmers misspells the terms detasseling and baling. ‘Bruce grew up in rural Iowa and worked on Iowa farms, detassling (sic) corn and bailing(sic) hay,’ it reads. After the typos were pointed out, Braley spokesman Jeff Giertz said on Twitter he lost his fourth-grade spelling bee by misspelling ‘journey.’ ‘I guess my old habits are hard to break,’ he said. Additionally, Buzzfeed reported on Thursday that a photo of an Iowa farm Braley posted to his Facebook page in 2013 is actually a photo of a farm in England. Braley spokesman Drew Pusateri said the photo is being corrected, and it has been taken down."
  • Coach Fran McCaffery is going through hell off the court. His son Patrick has been diagnosed with cancer. This article made me feel good about our society, though the fact that someone would call after he said he would call is not "amazing" to me - it's following through on doing what you said you were going to do. It should be expected.
  • The final WWE Raw before Wrestlemania XXX was on last night. Good buildup.
