Pollsters Say Public Pissed at Politicians, NATO Expects Russian Invasion of Ukraine, Iraq Is Just a Friggin’ Mess: P.M. Links

• Pollsters agree:
  Americans are in a lousy mood, and they’re especially ticked at
  politicians of all stripes.
• Except for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is coasting to
  reelection despite being
  chin-deep in a corruption scandal.
• NATO says there’s a high probability that all of those Russian
  troops massed on Ukraine’s border will
  decide to take a giant step forward.
• The FBI
  will investigate the killing of unarmed teen Michael Brown by a
  suburban St. Louis police officer. So federal procedures better
  have been followed!
• Not only did the “cash for clunkers” program not result in a

  Haidar al-Abadi as a replacement for Prime
  Minister
  Nuri al-Maliki. Who refuses to step down. These are the days of
  our lives…
• Get ready for
  more IRS paperwork as the tax agency tries to calculate who is
  entitled to what, Obamacare-wise.
