Overnight Outrage: The Federal Government's $300-Plus Million Solyndra
Let's get the easy part out of the way first. The New York Times and the Associated Press are only covering the outrages emerging in Solyndra's bankruptcy in the vaguest of terms. The only related Times item I could find was a sentence at the end of an October 11 Green blog post indicating that "the I.R.S. and the Energy Department argue in court papers" against the company's bankruptcy plan.…

MSNBC's Witt Whiffs Twice In One Morning
Drifting around the dial this morning, I happened on MSNBC's Weekends With Alex Witt. Within minutes, I was stunned by two Witt whiffs, to wit:

Malkin Column: Obama Campaign Co-Chair Eva Longoria Gets Schooled
