Citizenship.
Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin may not be allowed to return to the United States after he renounced his citizenship to save millions in tax… The timing of the move has raised eyebrows since Singapore does not have a capital gains tax, which could vastly reduce his bill on any [IPO] payout… Despite leaving the U.S. [...]
Dude?
Via Jorge Bonilla in the Greenroom, who sounds the call for “Operation Razorback Chaos.” Two words, my friends: Open primary. It’s magic time. In West Virginia, federal inmate Keith Judd recently swiped 42 percent of Democratic votes from the president, indicating the level of dissatisfaction among the rank and file. And according to a Talk [...]
"False advertising."
To cleanse the palate, via Ace’s site, behold as the western world comes to grips with the unsustainability of the welfare state. And to think, some say OWS is dead. Could be worse, though. At the Athens location for “Chuck’s Place,” they throw molotov cocktails when you cut them off at 20 pieces.
Opening offer.
A companion piece to the audio files posted at The Blaze of Wright’s interview with author Edward Klein. As Beck says and as Ed noted a few days ago, the money line from O to Wright, allegedly, is “You know what your problem is? You have to tell the truth.” If that came from someone [...]

C'mon.
Like Jonah Goldberg said earlier on Twitter, nothing says “bona fide Oklahoma Cherokee” like crab with mayonnaise. The money quote from Twila Barnes, the Cherokee genealogist responsible for yesterday’s indignant plea for Warren to come clean: “Cherokees don’t even traditionally have powwows.” Yeah, full-blooded Cherokees, maybe. But what about 0/32 Cherokees? Warren, who has been [...]
Fire with fire.
Via Mediaite. On the one hand, this probably was a consideration in Team Mitt’s mad dash this morning to distance themselves from the now-kaput Rev. Wright Super PAC ad. On the other hand, does anyone think the media’s going to let Romney’s faith pass unremarked upon if he’s three or four points up on O [...]

Tea time.
Granted, it’s a deep red state, but I’m surprised regardless. Kerrey served two terms in the Senate and another as governor so his name recognition is sky high; Fischer, meanwhile, was a distant third in the primary race behind Bruning and Stenberg as of just a few weeks ago. Can an almost total upstart crush [...]
Biography.
We got a bunch of excited e-mails when this story broke an hour or so ago, my favorite of which was this (in its entirety): why are you blacking out BRIETBART SCOOP of OBAMA KENYA PAMPHLET ??????? The terrible truth: Ed already had a few posts queued up and my shift hadn’t started yet so [...]
"They don't get us!"
“This election is going to create a stark and fundamental choice between two different economic philosophies,” Biden will say at an address in Youngstown, Ohio, according to prepared remarks released by the campaign. “There’s Obama Economics, which values the role of workers in the success of a business, and values the middle class in the [...]
Repeal and replace?
The sourcing on this one is awfully thin, which raises two possibilities. One: The details are exaggerated or outright made up to try to start a firestorm among ObamaCare-hating conservatives. Two: The details are spot-on and are being deliberately leaked to see how ObamaCare-hating conservatives react. Can some parts of this thing be preserved or [...]
"Tell the truth."
Via William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection, who’s owned this story along with the Breitbart team. Her name is Twila Barnes, she’s 7/32 Cherokee, and she just dropped a truth bomb on the Democrats’ favorite non-minority “minority”: You see, Ms. Warren, some of us have independently done our own research and we know you have no [...]
C'mon.
To cleanse the palate, good news for Chris Matthews: His already legendary crumble on “Jeopardy” wasn’t the worst game-show performance on American television this week. Wait, no — let me think about that. Okay, Matthews’s performance was worse, but this is a very, very narrow second. “Magic hand”? Is Reed College some sort of school [...]
Oof.
Monday’s NYT poll: Romney by two among women. Today’s Fox News poll: Obama by 22 among women. Second look at ignoring polls until September? Among independents, 34 percent back Romney, 29 percent support Obama and more than a third are undecided or say they won’t vote (36 percent). Last month, independents broke for Romney by [...]
"I think I’m a different kind of a, quote, 'liberal' in that I think people should be true to themselves."
Cheer up, Jon. If they weren’t calling you a Nazi for that, they’d be calling you a Nazi for appearing on Fox. After multiple Lovitz posts, the first half of this segment will be familiar to you, but at least watch the second half for when Kelly plays devil’s advocate by giving him the Elizabeth [...]

Zero.
Another day, another congressional shutout of O’s latest unserious gimmick. That makes three in the past year. The Senate torpedoed his last budget 97-0 in May 2011, then the House dropped a goose egg on him in March with a robust 414-0 tally. Now this. 610-0: Republicans forced the vote by offering the president’s plan [...]
Obligatory.
In case you missed this in Headlines last night, take three and a half minutes for a bit of political comedy that’s both amusing and, unusually, bipartisan. This was the highlight of New Jersey’s version of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner held yesterday in Trenton; everyone will get the Christie/VP gags but if you’re confused [...]

Oh my.
The last Marquette poll, which had Walker leading Barrett by one thin point, made me want to drink whiskey in the daytime. This one makes me want to drink champagne. Yesterday’s dKos/PPP poll had nearly identical numbers so it’s safe to say this really is the state of the race in Wisconsin at this moment. [...]

Challenges.
Fifty-six percent of Americans think Barack Obama will win the 2012 presidential election, compared with 36% who think Mitt Romney will win. Democrats are more likely to believe that Obama will win than Republicans are to believe Romney will. Independents are nearly twice as likely to think that Obama, rather than Romney, will prevail. *** [...]
"And I believe him."
He did once famously say, “After my election I have more flexibility.” Second look at restoring fiscal sustainability by selling out everything your welfare-state base holds dear? EK: It seems your view is that just as the market needs to have faith in your demographics and in the flexibility of your labor market and the [...]
"I'm going to go hard left on you here. I'm going to go ACLU."
From last night’s “Special Report.” We’re not talking about armed drones here, of course, just eye-in-the-sky surveillance, but CK says no way regardless. I’m sympathetic to his libertarian impulse but I think his reaction’s being driven by the device’s military application, not its intended police use. The public knows it as an instrument of death [...]

Palin power?
Wish we’d spent more time covering this given how interesting the race has become over the past week or so but here’s an eleventh-hour open thread for those who’ve been following it at other righty sites like Red State. Three candidates: Jon Bruning, the state AG and establishment favorite; Don Stenberg, the state treasurer and [...]
“Keep it clean out there, for heaven’s sake. We hate that crap on our television."
I’m kind of torn on this one. On the one hand, she seems as much offended by the idea of campaign attacks generally as by the specifics of the attack on Bain and Romney. When you invite a paid flack on to shill for his candidate, don’t be surprised when he won’t concede the point [...]
