From the Pork Barrel: Lightning and Thunder

Here's a new feature I'm gonna start doing on most days. Really just a list of some interesting articles or websites that we didn't have time to hit.

* Apparently, "Barack" and "Rahm" mean lightning and thunder in Hebrew. And, interestingly enough, congresspeople will be able to know how serious a situation is by counting the seconds between when Obama says something and Emanuel comes around to break their arms.

* Do not misunderestimate Rahm Emanuel's vocal eloquence.

* Did you know? Chuck Norris once became popular for no apparent reason whatsoever.

* Matt Drudge, like your finer forms of fungus, will just never go away completely.

* Mormons thrilled they get to tell other people their marriages are fucked up.
