Saints re-sign Marques Colston
http://twitter.com/#!/JayGlazer/status/179607872123047937
The NFL free agent market opens up today and we can already take one big name off the list of potential stars looking for a new home. The New Orleans Saints have agreed to a brand new 5-year-deal with one of Drew Brees’ favorite targets Marques Colston.
Brees has been publicly unsatisfied with the team’s choice to place the franchise tag on him. Maybe this move will help make him a little happier.
Colston off the market now. Really like his game. The other Saints WR though, Meachem, not as big of a fan.

Colston re-ups for 5 years in NO. Best fit for both sides. Colston is a huge weapon over the middle for the Saints

Obama implies that Obamacare individual mandate is a tax
http://twitter.com/#!/mollyesque/status/223935788252020736
While discussing Obamacare’s individual mandate in Roanoke, Va., today, President Barack Obama said, “If you have health insurance, you’re not getting hit with a tax.” The obvious conclusion is that if you don’t have health insurance, you will get hit with a tax.
Oh Barack, now you’ve tossed Twitter into a tizzy:
Admits it is a tax, not a penalty? RT @mollyesque: Obama: "If you have health insurance, you're not getting hit with a tax."
— Andrew Kaczynski (@BuzzFeedAndrew) July 14, 2012
@BuzzFeedAndrew Sounded that way, didn't it?
— Molly Ball (@mollyesque) July 14, 2012
And the Obamabots are upset we’re even talking about such a thing! Leave King Barry alone!
@BuzzFeedAndrew I've never seen such a dumb word game consume our politics and media. Well, except maybe the "czars."
— Zachary Pleat (@zpleat) July 14, 2012
Meanwhile, conservatives add a little commentary on Obama’s rhetorical bumbling:
and if you don't…you are RT @mollyesque: Obama: "If you have health insurance, you're not getting hit with a tax."
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) July 14, 2012
It must be tough for Obama to keep track of all the taxes he wishes he could impose on America — he said as far back as 2009 that Obamacare was “absolutely not a tax increase.” Even the leftist dimwits at ThinkProgress can’t get it straight. And somewhere orbiting another universe, Donna Brazile has tried and failed to relabel it a “wellness penalty.” Good luck with that.

Darn auto-correct! Rupert Murdoch: ‘Let’s compare species on Romney, Obama’
http://twitter.com/#!/rupertmurdoch/status/232112262977040384

Oh, Rupert! Let’s see if “story” will also turn out to be racist somehow!
These Parents Couldn’t Find Their Daughters Dresses With Trucks And Dinosaurs On So They Designed Their Own
“Girls shouldn’t have to decide between dresses and dinosaurs or ruffles and robots.” BuzzFeed News spoke to the two parents behind the project.
1. Rebecca Melsky and Eva St Clair knew that their daughters loved “girly” colours, flowers, and rainbows — but that they also loved cars, robots, and dinosaurs. So they faced a problem: No girls’ clothing catered to all of those interests together.
“We’re not sure who decided that girls have to choose between spaceships and ribbons, sparkles and science,” Melsky said. “But if you’ve ever tried to buy those little girls’ clothes that are pink and have dinosaurs, or are sparkly and have pirates, or even just a dress with a robot on it, then you know it’s pretty much impossible.”
3. That’s when the two parents decided to design their own dresses with motifs traditionally found exclusively on boys’ clothes.
4. Their clothing line is called Princess Awesome and features colourful dresses with designs such as dinosaurs, maths symbols, pirates, classic art, and ninjas.
5. The designs are perhaps in part inspired by the two parents’ own backgrounds.
St Clair has spent the last 10 years doing web programming, medieval studies lesson-planning and unit design, as well as homeschooling two of her four children.
Melsky, who is currently based in DC, has been teaching for the last 10 years.
7. Speaking to BuzzFeed News, Melsky said she first noticed the lack of options for young girls’ clothing when her daughter was 2 years old.
“My daughter has insisted on wearing dresses every day,” she said. “We can occasionally get her in a skirt, but really she just wants dresses, especially twirly ‘beautiful’ ones.”
Melsky added that when she bought her daughter pyjamas, she got them from both the girls’ and boys’ aisle.
“When she was just under three,” she said, “I was out shopping for pyjamas for her and thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if there was a dress with a spaceship on it? Or a truck? Or a robot? Because she would totally wear that.'”
10. When they set out to crowdfund for their clothing line, it proved a huge hit with parents: The project was funded in just four days.
The Kickstarter page launched on 3 February with a target of $35,000. It has gone on to become one of the most successful children’s clothing projects in the crowd-funding site’s history.
12. On the page, they featured some of their designs that will be used in production.
14. Melsky said supporters have told them that they believe the clothing line filled a significant, important gap in the girls’ clothing marketplace.
Ever since we began working on Princess Awesome in May 2013, almost every single person we’ve mentioned the idea to has said some version of, “That’s great idea! I can’t believe that doesn’t exist already.”
Parents want to be able to encourage their daughter’s love of dinosaurs without having to go to the boys’ section of the clothing store. Parents want their girls to know that they can be “girly” and like a whole host of topics — because those topics don’t have genders.

Obama: ‘I’m perhaps not ideological, I’m a practical man’; Practical guy then blames GOP
http://twitter.com/#!/davidgregory/status/285390931916619776
No, really, President Obama shamelessly stated that he’s maybe not ideological during his interview on “Meet the Press” this morning.
Obama: “If you appear at just how I’ve attempted to govern throughout the last four years … I’m perhaps not driven by some ideological schedule.” #MTP

Do your sides ache yet? Hold holding all of them, since it gets worse. Mr. Useful after that goes onto fault everyone, natch, for their problems and poor leadership, specially regarding the financial cliff.
President Obama uses an unusual look on a talk show, one-day ahead of the US hits the fiscal cliff, to pin the blame on Republicans.
