All right, Maddow. Here's to you, Hannity. Stop any complaining about political ads unjustly vilifying your favored presidential candidate. Truth can set you free. There's an app for that.

Leading Republicans weren't the only ones pulling for Rep. Todd Akin to get out of the Missouri Senate race on Tuesday. Local TV stations throughout the Show Me State had a lot on the line, as well.

It's hard to refer to them as courageous since courage does not equate to doing the right thing. But with all the expressions of "finally!"

The WWE truly is one of the most resilient brands in American entertainment. Every time it looks to be headed for a prolonged decline, it meets the challenge.
