A pretty large crowd is gathering all along the Monterey Bay to get a glimpse of the Space Shuttle. I’m loyally here at my computer, serving up these mid-days bites:
* Fox’s Chris Wallace goes after Peggy Noonan’s “conservative bona fides” after her recent criticisms of Team Mitt. But, but—she learned at the feet of Reagan!
* Herman Cain modestly allows as how he’d have a “substantial lead” if he were the nominee.
* Jim DeMint publicly toys with shattering boycott on financial help for Todd Akin.
* Paul Ryan goes heavily into Eddie Haskell routine, promising seniors to save Medicare from mean old Obama, at AARP confab. Gets booed, though.
* Speaking of Paul Ryan, Weigel’s got a review up of Atlas Shrugged II: The Strike.
And in non-political news:
* Wal-Mart to become first multinational retailer in India.
Back after some chores.

But, but—she learned at the feet of Reagan!
Apt turn of phrase, there...

I'm not sure what I find more shocking: that The Strike got made, or that the producers were willing to speak on record to a reviewer.
The former means the producers got enough funding to get actors and crew enough to make it.
The latter means the producers believe its actually worth defending.
Both are very, very hard to credit.

Unsurprising, given the Stalinist turn of today's movement conservatives. It's like the 1938 Moscow Trials. It didn't matter if the Old Bolsheviks had stood with Lenin and stormed the Winter Palace in 1917. What mattered was their obeisance to The Leader, and failure to acclaim his magnificence got you a 9mm hole in the back of your head in the cellars of Dzerhinsky Square (the NKVD, later KGB headquarters).
Failure to be a True Believer is a crime in a totalitarian movement like today's Republican Party.
