From the Pork Barrel: Numbers Game

* Nate Silver and the New York Times have a super fun online toy you can play with to find out how bad Obama is going to lose next year. Totally bad or totally mega extreme bad?! You find out!

* A kindly gentleman from the Tea Party was so kind recently as to inform Massachusetts senate candidate that she is "a socialist whore" before bidding her a hasty adieu.

* The U.S. Senate has, once again, succeeded specularly well at failing miserably.

* Does anybody know who does the taxes for these 30 corporations worth hundreds of billions of dollars? Do you think he's taking on any new clients?

From the Pork Barrel: Homework

* Barack Obama today asked members of the media to act like journalists. I don't know. I think that's asking a bit much of them.

* Rep. Paul Broun made an excellent point today, pointing out how Occupy Wall Street is an "attack upon freedom" from having to listen to people express their opinions.

* Hahaha! Sen. Scott Brown really nails Elizabeth Warren for being old and not a Victoria's Secret model. Burn!

* Sarah Palin remembers Steve Jobs as "an island that touched so many people." That's such an island thing to do, isn't it?

From the Pork Barrel: Debt and Taxes

* Newly announced senatorial candidate Elizabeth Warren makes a somewhat simple but overlooked point: "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody!" That's the problem with this country — even the capitalists are socialists!

* Warren currently leads incumbent Republican Scott Brown by two points in a recent poll. But don't worry; Brown should regain the advantage once we get to the swimsuit competition.

* Anti-government intervention, free-market Republicans ask Harvard to stop paying Elizabeth Warren's salary.

* Barack Obama patiently explains to United Nations why United Nations is kind of useless. Wasn't quite as well received you might expect.

* Ted Haggard is supposedly going to be on ABC's Celebrity Wife Swap. Somebody has told him that in the whole swapping business, he ends up with another wife, right?

Mean Elizabeth Warren Wants to Break Scott Brown's Heart

Consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren is trying to ruin everything by founding an exploratory committee for a mission to unseat America's Naked Boyfriend, Senator Scott Brown. Heartbreak alert!

What the hell is this Harvard Law School professor thinking? Doesn't she know that nerdy smart ladies aren't supposed to get in the way of sexy nude boys' political dreams? Somebody needs to take this high-falutin' filly down a peg, and Brian Walsh, National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman, is just the man to do it. Here's his statement on Warren's jerky move:

As a native of Oklahoma, the anointed candidate of the Washington establishment, and someone who has spent many years ensconced in the hallways of Harvard, it's a good idea for Professor Warren to learn more about her adopted state of Massachusetts as she prepares to compete in a crowded Democrat primary.

Oooooh, BURN! Way to point out that she was born in Oklahoma, works in Washington, D.C., and… has lived in Massachusetts for… many years? Hmm.

On second thought, Bri-Bri, I'm not sure how much you'll scare people by reminding them that their potential new senator is also a longtime resident of their state.

Also: Scott Brown was born in Maine, and unless it's still 1819, that's not Massachusetts.

Just sayin'.
