From the Pork Barrel: Grumpy Old Men

* Libyan government not quite toppled enough for Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham. (Also, there are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three.)

* Republican elder Karl Rove looks deep into chicken entrails, foresees a Palin presidential campaign descending upon the land like veil of the blackest sackcloth.

* Tea Party getting its feelings hurt by mean words from socialist Nazis intent on destroying America.

* Breaking News! Paul Ryan not running for president. Also not training for rodeo. Or planning epic road trip down to Colombia. Or starting a ska band out of his garage. Actually, Paul Ryan not doing the vast majority of things. We'll keep you posted!
