– New Series Episodes: Obama has averted a yet another GOP-created financial crises, and the with the Tea Party’s whiff of victory there shall be more to come.

– Jumping the Shark: As the Tea Party demands and receives power in D.C., voters are setting different courses in Arizona and Wisconsin - why is the beltway always the last to note a trend?
