- Karl Rove, meanwhile, says Obama "suppressed" the vote by effectively painting Romney in an unfavorable light.
- Paul Krugman wants the president to go full retard and reject any kind of big deal on the coming fiscal cliff.
- George P. Bush has filed paperwork to run for state wide office in Texas.
- Bashar Assad says he wants elections to determine who leads Syria and denies a civil war is taking place there.
- A Mexican Ph.D. student at Harvard has developed an algorithm to track drug cartels through Google News.
