Here's a clip of Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee) on MSNBC last night, explaining how Republicans will cut vague "discretionary spending" to achieve magical savings. Chris Matthews is like "What will you cut? WHAT WILL YOU CUT?" The poor man's apoplectic!

You lose the Delaware Senate race. Christine O'Donnell—the Delaware Republican Senate candidate who declared, "I am you"—lost to Democrat Chris Coons. Thank God this is the last time we'll ever see or hear about Christine O'Donnell, ever.

Four years after selling YouTube to Google for $1.65 billion, Chad Hurley is leaving his video-sharing website behind. What he really wants to do, you see, is join the fashion industry. How... refined.
