- The mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford,
has finally admitted to
smoking crack, probably in a “drunken stupor” (his actual
words). He says he is not an addict and is refusing calls to
resign. - In the wake of his
plagiarism scandal, Sen. Rand Paul acknowledged that anecdotes
in his material had not been properly “sourced and vetted” and will
be implementing a new process. - In other Paul-related news, he’s working with fellow Sen. Mitch
McConnell to try to append
national right-to-work legislation to the Employment
Non-Discrimination Act. - A
New Jersey couple is suing over the state’s ban of therapy to
try to turn gay kids straight, saying it denies their right to seek
treatment for their teen son. - Officials in Eastvale, Calif., are going door-to-door checking
dog licenses to
justify their expensive contract with the county in response
to complaints about loose dogs. - The latest
limp White House defense of the Obamacare disaster and the
president’s untruthful statements about citizens being able to keep
their insurance policies is that Barack Obama lacks the ability to
go back in time and not say those things.
