  1. A politician somewhere will get in trouble for invoicing RedBox late fees to his campaign - THAT'S when RedBox fees will be too high.
  2. RedBox, you win again. It's after 9 p.m., and I just remembered I need to return that DVD.
  3. You tell me, random or related? I order 2 exact products from Amazon over 2 months. 1 ships FedEx & arrives. 1 ships USPS, it gets lost.
  4. Ted Cruz secures a place in the run-off for US Senate in Texas: statesman.com/blogs/content/…
  5. With 21% reporting, Cruz is keeping Dewhurst under 50%, which would require a run-off in two months, a long time in a state-wide race.
  6. To give you an idea of how big Texas is, I'm told their state House candidates must raise around $300,000 (in Kansas, it's $10-30K)
  7. Go @TedCruz!
  8. Go Ted Cruz. I want to see a run-off with Dewhurst.
  9. Question to John Vratil: are you running for re-election? Jeff Melcher will clean your clock, regardless, but I'm wondering if you'll try.
  10. Here is Jacob Turk's message on Memorial Day, remembering his dad, who is survived by his wife of 62 years. us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=3dbbb2033d9…
  11. Allen West, Congressman and Army Lieutenant Colonel: "Remembering our guardians at the gate" - humanevents.com/article.php?id…
  12. The Old-guard Media no longer supports religious freedom nor the freedom to speak against government (restricted by "campaign reform" laws)
  13. Kathleen Sebelius & President Obama narrowly defined a "church" as a group talking to LIKE-minded (a "church" can't interact with others?).
  14. The New York Times, on Memorial Day weekend, declared the Catholic Church "the real threat to religious liberty." nytimes.com/2012/05/28/opi…
  15. Thank you, to volunteers who made it possible to hand out 15,000 flyers at doors recently, promoting Hillsdale College's "Constitution 101."
  16. Club for Growth President: "Can anyone name a bipartisan bill that actually shrank the size and scope of government?" clubforgrowth.org/news/
  17. @Carbonite dropped, then rose to $12 (presumably from conservatives dropping stock & liberals buying it), but Thursday hit new low of $7.50
  18. @Carbonite didn't mind Ed Schultz saying similar remarks about radio talk show host Laura Ingraham (washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…)
  19. In March @Carbonite publicly stopped advertising with Rush (mocked a woman attending $30K/year college who "couldn't afford" birth control)
  20. Here's the stock slide on a graph of @Carbonite from MarketWatch. Was $14/share 6 months ago. Now $7.70. marketwatch.com/investing/stoc…
