Conversation starters:
Keystone XL's John Kerry connections.
The Census data that should terrify Republicans (at least for presidential elections).
What Darrell Issa really wants out of the Benghazi hearings.
The Renzi political corruption trial starts.
This one is fascinating and a must read:

Do we have any volunteers to update Tommy Horne's wikipedia page? I notice the criminal's latest transgression haven't yet appeared.

So let me see if I got this right concerning AZ's Attorney General Tommy Horne:
•When he had his own investment company (bankrupted) on Wall Street he "received a lifetime trading ban from the Securities and Exchange Commission".
•"While AZ State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Horne was cited for criminal speeding in Scottsdale, Arizona. During a subsequent year-and-a-half period, Horne was cited for speeding six additional times, including once in a school zone.
(I just love that last one! It is just so Arizona.)
• While AZ State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tommy pushed thru the AIMS exam, now an epic failure and a classic waste of taxpayer money.
• As AZ Attorney General: "In October, 2012, after an FBI investigation, Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery concluded that Horne deliberately broke campaign finance laws during his 2010 election campaign by coordinating with an independent expenditure committee."
• And now... AZ Attorney General (aka "Fat Tommy") pleads "no contest" to hit and run, while in disguise with a mistress, (who he hired for a senior position on the taxpayer's dime despite her being unqualified).
One can only wonder what's next for this fat scofflaw immigrant from Canada? Surely we can all agree: he'd make a great AZ Governor. Tommy-2-Hornes has got the "right" stuff....
