What Do You Really Need to Know to Be U.S. Ambassador to Norway?
I have no more questions for this incredibly highly qualified group of nominees.

Midterm Worm Turn
The NSA leaks were met with Republican indignation.
They said Edward Snowden was a disgrace to the nation.
They called him a spy,
But now they love the guy
For giving them cause to investigate the administration.
They first said Snowden’s leak was a defection,
But now they see his point, upon reflection.
He gave them insights
Into things that weren’t right,

Prominent Republican Propagandist Indicted for Voter Fraud
Dinesh D’Souza, a conservative commentator and best-selling author, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for arranging excessive campaign contributions to a candidate for the U.S. Senate.
According to an indictment made public on Thursday in federal court in Manhattan, D’Souza around August 2012 reimbursed people who he had directed to contribute $20,000 to the candidate’s campaign. The candidate was not named in the indictment…
D’Souza was charged in the indictment with one count of making illegal contributions in the names of others, and one count of causing false statements to be made.
Federal law in 2012 limited primary and general election campaign contributions to $2,500 each, for a total of $5,000, from any individual to any one candidate.
The Senate candidate was Republican Wendy Long, who ran unsuccessfully against incumbent New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in 2012.

Obama’s On the Rebound, Kind of
58%
Of those surveyed in a new Associated Press-GfK Poll said President Obama was very or somewhat likable, so his personal image is on the rebound, up 9 points from October. However, Obama’s approval rate is still upside down at 45% to 53%.
Hang ‘Em High
Florida politicians give us memorable quotations,
Though some are almost too bizarre to mention.
Like candidate Joshua Black,
Who just happens to be black,
Who said he wants to take Obama out and lynch him.
