“BALD EAGLES RECOVER FROM EATING EUTHANIZED CATS.”

3-WAY RACE: Romney 44%, Obama 39%, Ron Paul 13%.

WISCONSIN RECALL IRONY.  UW-Milwaukee political scientist Mordecai Lee expects 95% of Republicans voters to cross over in today’s recall primary and vote for one of the Democrats — most likely Kathleen Falk, who stands to the left of her Democratic opponent Tom Barrett, because she polls much worse against Scott Walker. But Barrett has been so far ahead of Falk in recent polls, that if Falk wins, it should be interpreted as a victory for Scott Walker, even though Falk has campaigned as an embodiment of the values of the anti-Scott Walker protests.

“IF WALKER WINS… you’ll never see Obama defending unions” says an American labor historian at the University of California who wants Gov. Scott Walker to lose. Interesting contrast to AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka’s saying that a victorious Walker would be “a debilitated governor.”

THE SHEIK WITH 15 KIDS IS NOT A DESIRABLE NEIGHBOR… when the previous occupants were the doll collection of a recluse who reclused herself elsewhere.

ELIZABETH WARREN SKIPS HARVARD POWWOW. Didn’t she want to make friends?

SHOULD ROMNEY HAVE CHIDED THE WOMAN WHO SAID “TREASON”? I say absolutely not. This pushback from Obama supporters is an effort to neuter Romney. (Wouldn’t it be nice if he’d behave more like McCain?) And the word “treason” has a venerable place in the American free-speech tradition. John Marshall used it to express how wrong it is not to follow the Constitution.

GOODBYE TO MAURICE SENDAK. He was 83.

“I refuse to lie to children… I refuse to cater to the bullshit of innocence.”

“WTF? Democratic Party of Wisconsin Cancels post-primary Unity Rally.”

I don’t know why the rally was canceled, but there has been widespread, unsubstantiated speculation that the front runner in the primary, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, decided at the last minute not to attend. The rumor being spread is that Tom Barrett does not want to be seen in the company of union leaders and union members for fear of having images of his participation in the rally being used against him by the Walker campaign.

Others are speculating that the whole thing is a last-minute dirty trick perpetrated by supporters of Kathleen Falk… Is it really Barrett who backed out, or did somebody design a set of conditions for the rally that they knew would force Barrett to back out so they could smear him?

Ah, unity!

TEXTING AND OPEN MEETINGS LAWS. It was so much easier when people just whispered to each other during City Council meetings.

“GAY MONEY IN THE ELECTION HAS REPLACED WALL STREET MONEY,” said NBC Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd, purporting to explain why “they are so sensitive to Biden” embracing same-sex marriage.

ADDED: Sorry I had the wrong link here before. If you were wondering what “What Dogs Are Thinking” had to do with Chuck Todd and gay people… the answer is: nothing. (I think. I mean, wouldn’t it be a kick in the head if the dogs were wondering about Joe Biden getting out ahead of the pack?)

GENDER POLITICS GONE WILD: “It takes mom to get people back together. That’s how families do it.” (I don’t like to self-link while guest blogging, but if you want a place to talk about the Scott Walker recall primary, which is tomorrow, here‘s the post with the same link over at Althouse.)

GOODBYE TO GOOBER. “Goober is every man… Everyone finds something to like about ol’ Goober.”

“PONCHOS AND SOMBREROS: Partygoers don ‘insensitive’ attire despite student efforts.”

THE “OUTRAGEOUS LOOPHOLE” that let Scott Walker “operate in lawless fashion”? Funny, when what you’re calling “lawless” is, well… a law.

“It’s offensive to say it’s a loophole. It’s a clear statute,” said Mike Wittenwyler, a Madison political law attorney. “If that’s a loophole, then the entire state statutes are a loophole.”

TOP 30 POTENTIAL ROMNEY VP PICKS. I think he’s right about #1.

“WE’LL TAKE OUT SCOTT WALKER,” says AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. (Go to 7:50 in the video.) Quite aside from the whiff of violence in the phrase “take out,” there’s the odd correction he does, shifting from “they’ll” to “we’ll.” “They’ll” refers to the candidates in the recall election. “We’ll” — I think that means the labor unions.

“STABLE,” EH? Well, as they say at the Kentucky Derby: I’ll Have Another. Thanks for bringing me back, Glenn. Have a great vacation, as we guest horses attempt to inspire the disheartened crowd that many perhaps only partially fill the stands.

KOHL TO RETIRE!

ADDED: Is my exclamation point ridiculous? Sorry. I live in Wisconsin.

THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT DID NOT CENSOR BOB DYLAN. Says Bob Dylan. Also:

Everybody knows by now that there’s a gazillion books on me either out or coming out in the near future. So I’m encouraging anybody who’s ever met me, heard me or even seen me, to get in on the action and scribble their own book. You never know, somebody might have a great book in them.

And if I know Bob Dylan that means: Shut up, you losers. You don’t know me.

“RELATIVE CHAOS” defines the GOP presidential race, according to Chris Cillizza, and unless Mitch Daniels, the “serious person,” enters it — with his “considerable gravity” — “unpredictability” will “almost certainly continue unabated” and we will be left with “considerable flux.” Oh, no! The almost certain relative chaos and considerable flux! Save us, Mitch! Save us!

THE TWITTER CURSE. Did it get James Durbin?

I’M NOT GOING TO FREAK, I’M GOING TO TWEET. Blogger is having problems… to the point where, if you try to go to my blog, you’ll get a message saying it’s removed. According to Blogger Status, they’re working on it. Fortunately, there’s Twitter, and I’m going to hang out there. And there’s also Instapundit, at least for a little while longer. Until Glenn wakes up. Hopefully, Glenn will wake up, and Blogger will wake up very soon.

‘WELCOME TO WISCONSIN, JIM CROW!” — what a protester shouted when the Assembly passed the voter ID bill.

“IT DOES NOT SERVE THE UNION’S INTERESTS when the union loses some of its power and things don’t seem to get worse for teachers as a result.”
