Ed Schultz has been booted to the weekends. Chris Hayes has been promoted to the 8 pm spot. There is something about Ed Schultz that I can only take in small doses. I can watch Rachel Maddow every night, but not Ed.
The NRA’s Wayne LaPierre is still flapping his lips. I’m not really sure why, but… I guess money can buy you love.
Some GOP congressmen ain’t liking the sequester after all. (more…)

U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, who should be getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan, is instead seeking a temporary restraining order under the guise of being a conscientious objector. Cook is a birther who is arguing that President Obama is not a natural born citizen and, therefore, ineligible to be commander-in-chief. Cook’s lawyer is Orly Taitz — dubbed The Queen Bee of Birferstan for challenging the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency in California:
In the 20-page document — filed July 8 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia — the California-based Taitz asks the court to consider granting his client’s request based upon Cook’s belief that Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Cook further states he “would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in military actions outside the United States under this President’s command. … simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful execution of these duties.”
When not filing suit against his commander-in-chief, Cook has also made time to post at the conservative website FreeRepublic.
