Today’s selection of important stories you might have missed:

~ Sean Hannity doesn’t ever remember Chelsey Clinton getting attacked.  I suppose we’ve always been at war with Eastasia as well, eh Sean?

~ What happens when people peaceable assemble in America?  Well, if it’s next to a GOP convention they get teargassed and flashbanged.   Apparently the 1st Amendment only applies some of the time.

~ Sorry Romney, but it’s awful hard to “throw out the liberals” when your party’s been running the show for near a decade.

~ It’s always a good idea to avoid pissing off the Washington press corp & pundit brigade.

~ Republican pundits are claiming Sarah Palin has experience because she commanded the Alaskan National Guard.  Maybe someone should have told the Guard, I’m sure they’d like to know.

~ John Cole at Ballon Juice asks: “A far right Christian ideologue who lies, abuses her authority, stonewalls investigators, and then refuses to testify. Why does this sound so familiar?”  Good question.
