Ashley Judd is making noises that she might run for Senate in her home state against longtime Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), an idea that I originally found far-fetched...until a poll showed that even before lifting a finger she's only four points behind the guy.

I'm pleasantly surprised the Democrats got off their asses and did this gimme of an effective ad. It's a bit late in the game, but the game ain't over so there's no reason not to keep playing hard...

Gee, I don't know why so many people mistakenly believe President Obama is a Muslim. I mean, it's not like it's been repeated in the tabloids (the above is the current issue of Globe), asserted by right-wing leaders (Rev. Franklin Graham notes he was "born a Muslim" and possesses "the seed of Islam") and alluded to passively by everyone from Hillary Clinton (back in the day) to Mitch McConnell (just the other day).

I was fascinated to read that this kind of religious conspiracy theorizing also haunted Abraham Lincoln ("slurred" as a Catholic) and FDR ("slurred" as a Jew). It's never correct, but it correctly exposes which religious group is currently the most loathed.
