Little Green Footballs Take Bad Bounces
Charles Johnson, proprietor of Little Green Footballs, is someone who used to make some sense, particularly with regard to the dangers of Islam.

Interim Colorado Senator Michael Bennet is obviously an idealist, as his recent interview with CNN indicates. His response to the question that many vulnerable representatives are asking themselves gives it away: “If you get to the final point and you are a critical vote for health care reform and every piece of evidence tells you…
