    Senatorial courtesy be damned: Today, The Hill reports, that junior Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is prepared to jettison senate tradition, tossing it aside like dead weight, in his urgency to save America's financial ship from sinking. By so doing, Paul has steered a signature policy-making course strategically cornering senior senators with his push for a $500 billion spending cut, half a trillion dollars. In a fury over fiscal waters, Paul apparently doesn't intend to waste time negotiating with waves, but intends to lash himself to government's wheel. [ video may be available at link ]

    Just days ago, the far left website posted a column -- since removed -- slamming the conservative Democrat. The author said Giffords was “dead to me” in the post’s title and comments. Daily Kos has mysteriously deleted that post in the wake of Saturday's shooting tragedy. Giffords’s offense in the eyes of the Daily Kos left wing community was her relative moderation: she voted against Nancy Pelosi as speaker. Daily Kos put target practice bullseye on Giffords This is not the first time Giffords’s opposition to the Pelosi-Obama agenda put her under the crosshairs of the fringe left’s violent rhetoric....
