From the Pork Barrel: Jogging for President

* Rick Perry is hoping to outrun his ineptitude. I don't know, have you seen the muscle mass on his ineptitude?

* Two Democratic state representatives are trying to ban cheerfulness in South Carolina. (To be honest, I didn't even think they had that there. Like cable.)

* Barack Obama is hoping to beat George Bush in Iowa next week.

* Mitt Romney asks the question with which wise men the world over have been wrestling for years: What's up with Newt Gingrich being so miserable?

* 650+ rabbis agree: President Mitt Romney will turn us all into a bunch of faygalas!

* Reddit sets its sights on keeping Sen. Lindsey Graham from re-winning his seat in 2012. Which shouldn't be hard, since he's not up for reelection till 2014.
