News you can use all day
Naked truck-driving ex-Senator Scott Brown waves away GOP obstructionism in the Senate, but he is shocked! Shocked! SHOCKED! at the partisanship in the Senate.
- Wedding Bells - The State of Illinois' Senate has approved marriage equality on St. Valentine's Day. The bill goes next to the House where it is expected to pass easily and then onto the Governor who has vowed to sign it. This makes Illinois the 10th state to approve Marriage Equality. (Think Progress)
- Fireballs - A meteorite traveling 54,000 MPH exploded over Russia this morning breaking windows and collapsing some old buildings. 500 people were injured (mostly from shattering glass). Additionally the age of Dinosaurs ended, rentals of The Andromeda Strain rise, and Sarah Palin saw it from her back door. (TPM has a slideshow)
- Death and Taxes! - As a corporation, Facebook will never die and it seems will never pay taxes. The company made over $1B in profit and paid $0 in taxes, all of it legal. Oh yeah, I forgot: Facebook received $429M in tax rebates, too. (Think Progress)

I don't think former Senator Fluffy Pants understood he was being asked about Hagel.
Also, too, they are talking about GOP obstruction of a Republican nominee by a Dem president, and former Senator Fluffy Pants whines about partisanship?
Someone, quick, ask him what day it is and who won the World Series in 2012 - I think he may have a head injury.

Sarah Palin was actually directly struck by one of the meteorites, but since it hit her in the head, it made no difference.

@ Mr. Flibble:
At least we finally got the huge sudden public flameout that she has owed us for the last four years.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
