Mueller is meticulous. Part of me wants him to rush, but the other half is thinking, “this is the man who successfully prosecuted Manuel Noriega - he knows how to take the leader of a country down.”

Not that it’s forgivable - because the editorial department should be in touch with the graphic designers for the cover - but I’m wondering if it was a layout decision.

First: White Cheddar Popcorn Fans unite! I don’t care how sticky it makes my fingers, it is my major dieting weakness. I hope for thematic appropriateness, you were eating Old Dutch.

True. I think it’s just a response from living in Wisconsin for nearly a decade. Where we lost Russ Feingold to freaking Ron Johnson, and then I got gerrymandered into a Tea Party district.

(I have to admit, though, that I’m glad he’s still a rep for my state. He was going to give up his seat if he won. The district is reliably blue so that wouldn’t have been a…

Because he’s considered to be an anti-semite, so you lose major Jewish donors?

EXCELLENT.
