You can’t make this stuff up. If Ronald Reagan liked jumping off bridges, Rick, would you make a speech while jumping off a bridge?
I was concerned that he was going to the one in Wisconsin; I love that Jelly Belly factory.
It also confuses me. Why is he going to the one in California, when their primary is two months away, rather than the Wisconsin one, when their primary is less than one week away?
- yeah … Last week, a spare comment Mitt Romney campaign staffer Eric Fehrnstrom comparing his candidate to an Etch A Sketch seemed to catch fire in the media, and the Gingrich and Santorum campaigns treated the gaffe as a major coup. Or was it?
- … but Despite the comment seemingly being everywhere last week, a Pew study shows that 55 percent of people didn’t even know about the incident. The WaPo’s Chris Cillizza says the poll is evidence of the bubble the political sphere builds around itself. (He’s right.) source
I wonder how many of those Etch-a-Sketch purchases that drove up sales were media outlets buying them to use on air.

Ron Paul • Speaking on Jay Leno about his lack of need for Secret Service protection. But the thing is, presidents and presidential candidates have been killed before on the campaign trail. This is not an unrealistic concern. Not sure if we agree with Paul on this one. (via shortformblog)
If elected president, I wonder if Paul would attempt to remove the Secret Service’s role as protector for sitting and former presidents and vice presidents, their families and visiting dignitaries.

— Newt Gingrich • Explaining, when pressed by San Francisco Chronicle reporters Joe Garofoli and Carla Marinucci, what precisely he means when he decries “San Francisco values.” His response, as you can see, is not one that will go over well with LGBT advocates, or people who believe a personal anecdote is shaky grounds for a broad-based political narrative. It does bear mentioning that Gingrich had some compliments for the city as, well, a city, and he also had some unexpected praise on California Democratic Governor Jerry Brown. source (via • follow)

Chris Christie: Not jumping in? Both the National Review and ABC News are reporting this (ABC News via a Breaking News banner), which should be reported as such: “Guy who said he wasn’t running for president dozens of times before says it for 76th time.”
Shocked! I am shocked!

I like facts. I share random crap from the interweb. Sometimes it's pop culture related, quite often it's political. Most times I just find it amusing. Oh, and space. I love space.
I source everything I can; it's just rude to not.
If you don't source something that I want to reblog, I will add it for you. You're welcome.
