The politics of trolling: Washington Examiner: Democrats spent $1.5 mil to help Akin win GOP primary
Which references Washington Post: Why Todd Akins win gives Democrats hope in Missouri and Washington Post: Democrats signal eagerness to face Todd Akin in Missouri.
We give to a couple of organizations that have gotten really annoying about asking for funds. One or two of these land an outrage inspiring missive in my inbox at least once a day, several once a week or so. For a few of them, I've been kind of wondering whether they're manufacturing outrage. Turns out that they may be spending quite a bit of money to do just that.

if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
