The Indy: "Despite evidence to the contrary, Barkus maintains he wasn't sloshed that night, and his attorney says the blood alcohol reading is flat-out wrong.

This comes as no surprise, but the American Police Force backed out of the Hardin Jail deal. But wait! Other companies have been asking about Hardin's facility. The question is, how are Harding officials going to top their last trick?

Tom Schaller posts New York's undercover videos of gun show dealers fragrantly violating the law on background checks. Schaller: "It's truly amazing how much disconnect there is in post-9/11 America between guns and the monitoring of everything other security-related behavior. I flew two weeks ago and forgot to swap my regular-sized toothpaste for the travel size and had to surrender it at the security gate, of course.

Jon Stewart comments on the coverage of the National Equality Rally...
...and destroys the Republican Senators that voted for gang rape:
And here's the totally awesome unauthorized Bob-Jaffee-for-Missoula-city-council YouTube video:
Bob Jaffee really is all that. He's the bomb. Vote for him if you live in Missoula's Ward 3. Otherwise, just wave "hi" as he zips by on his bike.
