Romney in High Demand, RIP James Brady, Google Snoops Email and Tips Cops: P.M. Links

• Mitt Romney is
  in high
  demand for appearances at GOP congressional campaign
  events. The grass is always greener, ain’t it? In sad sort of way,
  at least.
• Reagan-era Press Secretary James Brady, of the Brady Handgun
  Violence Prevention Act, passed
  away at 73.
• Google
  snooped through a man’s email account and tipped off police
  when they found child pornography.
• One-hundred and sixty-three new Ebola cases and
  61 deaths, but “an
  experimental serum” may have saved the lives of several
  Americans.
• 
  My Parents Open Carry is a new children’s book about gun
  rights. Unsurprisingly, lefties are letting the outrage cycle flow
  through them. Jezebel describes it as “nightmarish,”
  while Wonkette
  suggests it be retitled Brenna Has Two Nutbar Sociopath
  Gun-Toting Parents.
• The Toledo ban on dangerous tap water is
  over after three days. Now how will Ohioans drown their
  misery?
• Another day in Israel and Gaza, another ceasefire
  quickly ended and bombing resumed.
• Kiev says they were baited there by separatists, Moscow says
  they were seeking asylum:
  Over 300 Ukrainian troops crossed into Russia and now the
  countries are in talks about how to handle the
  situation. 
• Malia Obama was at Lollapalooza this weekend, but kind of
  
  stuck out thanks to her Secret Service detail. I wonder if they
  were carrying guns.
