Sarah Palin Picks Imaginary Fight With Elizabeth Warren, Loses

In
a recent interview with the Atlantic, Hillary Clinton went to great
lengths to separate herself from her former boss, President Obama, in the realm
of foreign policy. She unabashedly defended Israel's actions in the ongoing war
in Gaza, chalked up civilian casualties in that conflict to "the fog of
war," drew a hard line on Iran, and argued that the "failure" of the Obama
administration to arm Syrian rebel forces led to the rise of the Islamic
State. Asked about the president's unofficial motto for foreign
interventions—"Don't do stupid stuff"—Clinton did not mince words: "Great

police officer fatally shot Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, this past

rubber bullets at protestors. Meanwhile, communities everywhere have been showing their
support for the Ferguson protests. The hacktivist collective Anonymous hacked
the Ferguson police and released dispatch tapes from the day of the
shooting. Throughout it all, Missouri's governor has stayed under the radar.
Outside of Missouri, some scrappy ex-cops in Florida are transforming public defense, astrology helps expain partisan gridlock in Washington, and Texas is paying a discredited abortion researcher loads of cash. [READ MORE]
