More rapid fire

examples, that is, of our daily HIGHpocrisy (with sincere apologies for the tasteless pun, but not really), because.
And let's not forget about Marissa Alexander, who is no George Zimmerman, from last year.
And what to make of Ray Rice getting suspended 2 games for knocking his then-girlfriend unconscious, but CLE all-pro wide receiver Josh Gordon getting booted for the entire season for smoking pot?  America, what a country! What a weird, crazy, confusing experiment of a country!

A dog named Sue

We get that America is a lawsuit nation.  So many people love to sue so many other people.  But, why would the House vote to sue the President over enforcement of a law that the batshade party has already tried to repeal 50 times - and even then, a portion of the law that they wanted delayed in the first place - at a time when they literally cannot accomplish anything else as a governing body?  The longer and latest answers, both historical and comical, may potentially be found in those links, sure.
But the realest, bestest, shortest version of this BATSHADE lawsuit is this: these bag o' nuts are bat-f**king insane!  Full stop. The end.  Sorry, Mr. President, wish it weren't always this way, but haters gonna hate.

Up is down

The world may, indeed, have stopped spinning on its axis, what with Brazil's ultimate and complete soccer humiliation last night + the US Senate confirming an Obama nominee (Houston mayor for HUD Secretary).  If this new alternate reality is worth a look-see, here are some good examples of what used to pass for HIGHpocrisy around these parts.
PS, whoever wins today had also better stop Germany on Sunday in the final, or else we might have to post something else to generate more exposure.  "And you wouldn't want us exposing ourselves".

Rundown

I tried to watch as much MSNBC as I could stomach last night after the "shocking, stunning" upset loss of Rep. Eric Cantor (R-u kidding me?). I've also been checking the twitter-verse for the latest puns, but sadly, only ours make the grade. So instead, please enjoy a short list of the various post-election posts, presented in no particular order.
Nate Silver
Vox (Ezra Klein)
The Krug
Brian Beutler (my fave so far)
oooh, and just found another, RCP's Sean Trende (interesting name)
[Many more can also be viewed via our links on the right.]

Sample size

Been a while since we last posted, so just a quick return with some tasty choice pickins from around the HIGHpocrisphere.  There are plenty more where that came from, but we're too tired right now to do our own search.  Back soon!

Anew

It took long enough, but we (I) finally figured out how to re-establish the hyperlink to Nate Silver's new 538 venture.  It's back on the blogger roll, on the right.  Maybe we needed the official site to launch?  That makes 14, so we will get back to our 15th once Matt Taibbi launches the next First Look sometime later this year.  If you still want to read Rolling Stone, go for it; they still do good work.

Shame (totes obvi)

HIGHpocrisy as glaring and ridiculous as this, we just have to use it!  For the more visceral among you, watch my man Chris Hayes explain it like no one else can:
