This is why Bill Clinton was, is, and will forever remain America’s most awesome president:

In 1999 or 2000, after the failed attempt to kill Osama bin Laden with some 80 cruise missiles launched into the al Qaeda camp in Khost, Afghanistan, a frustrated President Bill Clinton thought that somehow the United States could “scare the shit out of al Qaeda if suddenly a bunch of black ninjas rappelled out of helicopters into the middle of their camp,” according to the 9/11 Commission.

We also would have accepted being smothered under a ton of fluffy pillows.

“If Maes fails to get 10 percent of the vote on election day, his legacy… will be leaving Republicans with minor party status in Colorado until 2014.” Oh, and Hickenlooper’s leading by barely four points. [TPM]

eMeg is now trailing Attorney General Moonbeam by 13 points in the race for California Governor according to the LA Times, despite (or because of) her infusion of more than $140 million of her own money in the race.

They will do your political ad for 120 bucks – cash American:

Title: “World of Warcraft: The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm”

Author: Christie Golden

Rank: 31

Blurb: “The spark seemed to spasm, and yet he continued on his lethal course. Thrall, grim-faced, clenched his hand hard. The spark flared defiantly, then dwindled, finally settling down to nothing more than the faintest of glowing embers. For now, he would no longer do anyone harm. The threat had ended, but Thrall was reeling.”

Review: “The Shattering answered every single question I had made, and even gave me a newfound respect for Garrosh Hellscream, a character that I had previously loathed.”
