While the Secessionist was taken to task by the legacy media for his rube-ish views on science, he’s paying no penalty at all within the Republican Party.

Another day and another bad economic indicator. New home sales in July hit a five month low.

The town hall revolution is occurring on a very narrow playing field. Even where Republicans are holding town halls, they are not being held in the most populated areas of the district, in some cases. And we know about the “pay-per-view” town hall, where constituents have to pay $15 to get in.

That includes Democrats, by the way, who are ignoring town halls at a faster rate than Republicans.

With unemployment still extremely high and the cost for the federal government to borrow so low it is practically free, I would like to offer up my own jobs plan. It is called the “taking care of our shit initiative,” or as Wolf Blitzer might describe it, the “good jobs for sewer infrastructure” program. The objective of the program would be to put people to work upgrading the systems that take care of our human waste problems.

While many allies of the President, “Democratic strategists” and the like were exultant over the fall of Gadhafi in Libya, world leaders were more subdued, because they knew he had not been captured, and Tripoli was not entirely in the hands of the rebels. We’ve seen ebbs and flows throughout the civil war in Libya, and the potential existed for another one. And that’s what appears to be happening.

Losts of stuff going on today. The world is flying apart, opBart is happening and dday tells us Libya is far from settled. But the Tar Sands 65 are finally out of jail — wait till you see the Tar Babes! –and we don’t have to eat those terrible not really cheese sandwiches. So let’s get on with it by catching up from dday’s news roundup from late yesterday.

Opponents of the cell phone shut down by Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) just over a week ago continued their protests with another round at 5 pm. Those who attempted to hold a peaceable assembly on the platform at the Civic Center station were immediately met with riot police, who had orders to not tolerate any demonstration whatsoever.

• The fighting continues in Tripoli.
• Guess he doesn’t have Robert Reich’s number.
• The Secessionist under the microscope.
• Another victim of Obama’s thought police.
• God’s work.

Here’s a real surprise, situation in Libya isn’t as clear as previously reported.
