In Which We Discuss:
2. “Uninspiring but mistake free” campaign crushes an uninspiring but stupidity-filled Landrieu campaign in Louisiana runoff

In Which We Discuss:

3. Centrists and Liberals are about to throw down Tea Party style as Democrats reckon with how to not get shitstomped in future elections.
4. Still don’t have healthcare? What are you thinking?! (Also, open enrollment is in session! You could totally fix this!)

6. Well we landed on a comet. (Yay?) But besides causing a real #shirtstorm, we might not have accomplished much. Turns out that sunlight is a really important ingredient in launching a successful solar energy space probe.

3. In the midst of the Dear Leader “discomfort” saga of 2014, three senior North Korean officials took a journey to the land of the Choco-Pie for a weekend of cookie gluttony and peace talks.
4. Secret Service still roughly as capable as Lila’s last run-in with them would suggest
