- Proving once again that he's not a sexist and totally gets young people, Rush Limbaugh took to the airwaves to ask why would any young person get health insurance when they could be "looking for women at Georgetown Law" instead. Get it, because they're sluts and getting laid is way more important than being able to afford medical care.
- Allen West thinks that the stock market is improving because traders psychically know that a Republican is going to beat Obama in 6 months and this excites them. And Steve Forbes thinks the auto bailout was "a political payoff" like they do in Argentina. But for the 2/3rds of us that live in the real world, we're aware that those things aren't actually true, and that try as they might, Republicans aren't going to pin gas prices on Obama either.
- A newly proposed relaxation of regulations would have poultry inspectors check 175 chickens per minute, nearly double the 91 they currently check. Because that doesn't sound like it will impact public health at all.
- Rick Santorum makes an oddly coherent point: "If Mitt Romney's an economic heavyweight, we're in trouble, because we was 47th out of 50 in job creation in the state of Massachusetts when he was governor."
- None of the Republican candidates for Senate in Missouri know what the current minimum wage is, but don't worry they know it shouldn't be raised. If you would like a raise though, all you need to do is get yourself elected to Congress then retire and become a lobbyist. That'll net you a 1,452% salary increase. But I'm sure knowing that doesn't affect how they vote at all.
