#ncga: McClatchy’s ‘Men’s Room Jihadi’ takes aim at Dan Bishop
Jihad? We’re supposed to be offended by a senator characterizing the driveby media as a bunch of maniacal out-of-control radicals bent on causing as much pain and destruction as possible for people they don’t like? *Damn, it must really have…

Civitas thins the herd over on Jones Street
What a difference a month makes. Last month, EVERYBODY was getting perfect scores from Civitas. A month later, after the solar scam has come and gone, there are only SEVEN House members with perfect scores of 100: Mark Brody, George…
