As alert readers noticed, I got off to a late start this morning (I overslept all the way until 5:30!), so I’m still playing catchup. But here are some news nuggets I hastily microwaved for your mid-day break:
* Roll Call provides depressing details on the $300 million American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS campaign budget for 2012, including $70 million for Senate races.
* CBO reports that in 2009 Americans paid lowest tax rates in 30 years.
* Rielle Hunter book tour a bust; only 6,000 copies sold.
* Breitbart rolls out Part Deux of Pat Caddell’s massive strategic memo, and it’s just as vast and unreadable as the first installment.
* Gardner and Balz take Iowa’s political temperature.
And in non-political news:
* Hard-copy resumes head towards the graveyard.
Back after a short hydration break.

Oh Ed, you lay about, seriously, thanks for your early bird efforts every day for those of us in the Eastern Time Zone. I sure hope you're more of a morning person then a night one.

its occurred to me that all the milions being pumped into anti-Democrat commercials by the Citizens United super-pacs should be creating some jobs somewhere and pumping some money into the economy? Or is it: FOX News owner donates 10 million to a super pac for commercials and they buy the time on his own stations?

Caddell's articulate fact-based rebuttal to ACA:
"But the mandate is the vulnerable hole in the Obama Death Star. If Republican Skywalkers can fire a laser torpedo into that opening, they will destroy the whole menacing orb. To light up the mandate-tax is to illuminate all of the many taxes and the robotic army needed to collect and enforce them."
Trust the farce, Lukes!
