VIDEO: CANDIDATE FROM 'RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH' PARTY

Often times, third party candidates are shunned from debates. Here we have a perfect example of why they shouldn't be - sheer compelling entertainment. Jimmy McMillan was one of seven candidates participating in a debate for the New York gubernatorial race. The name of his party? 'The Rent is Too Damn High' Party. Kinda reminds me of the XFL player a few years back named, 'He hate me.' I think it's safe to say McMillan stole the show. These are unusual times and don't forget, Alvin Greene won the Democrat nomination in South Carolina.

ARE MUSLIMS PROVING GEERT WILDERS' CASE?

As Dutch politician Geert Wilders stands trial in his home country, accused of insulting Islam, thereby inciting hatred and violence against Muslims, actual Muslims are kind of proving his case by threatening - what else - violence against the Netherlands for form a minority government that includes Geert Wilders and his anti-Islam Freedom Party (PVV).

Via the Dutch Press:

Amsterdam - The Taliban have warned of a possible terrorist attack against the Netherlands, according to a press report Monday, in the wake of the government's decision to forming a minority government backed by the anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders.

'If the Netherlands enforce its anti-Islamic policies, it will ensure that they will be the target of an attack by a jihadist group,' Taliban spokesman Sabiullah Mujahid told the de Volkskrant newspaper.

Not sure about you but this kind of reminds me of Nathan Thurm who got overly defensive after being accused of being defensive.

VIDEO: MSNBC'S MIKA DISAPPOINTING THE WHITE HOUSE

When the Obama administration begins to lose folks at MSNBC over the administration's charge that the Chamber of Commerce is using foreign money to produce ads, it should be a sign for the White House to find another issue to demagogue. On MSNBC's 'Morning Joe,' Mika Brzezinski brought up the fact that the Democrats have accepted $1 million from foreign companies via PACs. Basically, Mika was laying the groundwork for a debate that says the White House is made of glass and its occupants are throwing stones. She even referred to Obama's untraceable donations.

That obviously got under the skin of someone in the administration because one hour later, Mika produced and read an email she had received from the White House in response to what she brought up earlier.
