Intrade May Indicate BHO Glide Slope; But Let’s Not Get Cocky, Eh?

by Smitty As you look at the Intrade market for “Barack Obama to be re-elected President in 2012” it looks like #OccupyResoluteDesk could have some challenges ahead of his request for a 4-year occupation extension from the American people.

‘A Faint Whiff of Vigilante Hysteria’: Weinergate’s Kimberlin Connection

Raw Story Disavows Ties to Kimberlin

In a previous item, I mentioned that former Raw Story reporter Larisa Alexandrovna is an “indefatiguable defender” of convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin.
