Tab Dump
1) An ActBlue employee explains the benefits of broad fund-raising. This is why my favorite campaign-finance reforms are those that match the donations of small donors.
2) The sad tale of Ted Williams' cryogenically-frozen head.
3) The gender wage gap, state-by-state.
4) The health-care debate in the year 1500.
5) The humbling of Robert Parker.
The Olympic Committee eliminated "have a bad weekend" in the first round. "Have a good weekend" narrowly beat out "have a mediocre weekend" in the third round of voting.

Dear Arkansas:
Both of your Senators are snakes. They're no better or worse than any of the others. But they're snakes.
Shame on you, Arkansans for electing them. Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor are both snakes. You elected them. Shame on you voters in Arkansas. How could you?

I'm trying to stop laughing long enough to comment here, but the sad, very weird story of Ted Williams's head did bring forth one of the funniest comments I've seen in a long time, from one SuckoT:
Why can't people just let cooler heads prevail?
