Today on the Dish, Andrew weighed in on Breivik's Christianism and fingered Bruce Bawer's contradictory statements, with a full Norway reax here. Andrew commented on the loss of Amy Winehouse and Russell Brand explained the detachment of the addict. Andrew termed the debt debate a "cold civil war," defended Obama's conservatism, and we don't even need a debt ceiling. The Federal Reserve bailed out foreign banks and Zac Morgan dubbed Rick Perry the "Teastablishment candidate." We debated arming South Sudan, Tony Karon speculated about why Israel threatens to bomb Iran, and the Vatican sunk lower.
The Murdoch web ensnared the judge investigating him, DSK's maid gave her first interview, and precise measurements can discourage us from achieving our goals. Grandmothers wanted marriage equality to win, and the pushy parents dilemma arrived for New York's gays. We wanted to cool off by painting the rooves white, soda bottles illuminated shanty towns, and sharia law wasn't any more dangerous than the Amish. Real travel insurance doesn't exist, migraines plagued everyone, and Daniel Lyons explored whether robots are taking our jobs. Common sense tricked us, Brooklyn got rechristened, and Cord Jefferson couldn't ignore offensive lyrics. Young people preferred not to telecommute, readers parsed the Palin family spotlight, and cheesy poofs are real.
