I’m a bit foggy from late-night election-watching, tweeting, and column-writing, but still in the kitchen for some mid-day treats:
* In the wee hours TNR published my column on what happened in Alabama and Mississippi, and why it matters, if anyone is interested.
* Erick Erickson says he had written a post suggesting conservatives unite behind Romney that he would have published this morning if things had turned out differently last night. But never mind!
* POTUS gives his new basketball buddy David Cameron a fancy “made in the USA” grill, and his kids got personalized bean bag chairs featuring the presidential seal. Can’t buy those at Harrods!
* Arizona GOPers pushing their own state-level Baby Blunt Amendment, featuring requirement that women who need pill for non-reproductive reasons have to reveal medical records.
* Maureen Dowd & Halperin/Heilemann all start Hillary ‘16 talk. And people wonder why it’s called “the permanent campaign.”
And in non-political news:
* Move over, Kardashians: E! network to air reality show featuring Clint Eastwood and family.
Back after some chores.

Erickson demonstrates the difference between a leader and opinion shaper, and one of those guys in the middle of the mob saying "me too, me too".

Okay, I love Clint Eastwood's films, when he's both in front and behind the camera, with some exceptions, but Eastwood as a person has had a...colorful...past and wouldn't be a good role model to put on the air, unlike, Tebow-above help me, Ozzie...

good to know Erick Erickson is now running the Republican Party.

Hillary in 16? Already? Really?

For the love of all that's good and decent... can SOMEONE get the Karsashians off of the air-ways... and figure out a way to KEEP THEM OFF?
Talk about someone whose "sell-by" date is LOOOOONNNGGG past...

I wonder why Clint Eastwood is doing this -- surely he doesn't need the money? He has never seemed to me to be a person who wanted to be followed around by cameras day in day out... Could it be a hoax? Or some sort of meta-fiction, a kind of film he wants to make?

HRC in 2016? I'd definitely vote for her, but I understood she was planning on retiring from political life after 2013?
As for the grill given to PM Cameron, I hope it's not dependent on charcoal for cooking...
