Sarah Palin Picks Imaginary Fight With Elizabeth Warren, Loses


By Andy Kroll

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 nations need organizing principles, and 'Don't do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle."

The response from local police has been heavy-handed, with police firing tear gas and 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]
