Since The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, Pine has become a household name. He’s starred as Kirk in Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness.

Look for Pine in the TV show Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp coming out later this year, and Star Trek 3 in 2016.

http://twitter.com/#!/nielslesniewski/status/472524417663528961

Roll Call’s Niels Lesniewski called it “interesting,” and the idea is sure to interest more than a few people. (It only garnered about 20 retweets, though.)

Jim Geraghty spots Obamacare claims still posted on WhiteHouse.gov

http://twitter.com/#!/jimgeraghty/status/393772730647998464

Or die trying.

We’ll give the administration a pass on these, because if they can’t get the HealthCare.gov train wreck fixed, there’s a good chance that nobody knows how to change all the overly-optimistic claims that were loaded on the pages pre-“tech surge.” Like this:

Simple?

Marc Lamont Hill laments suicide of convicted killer on death row

http://twitter.com/#!/marclamonthill/status/364419631521345538

HuffPost Live host Marc Lamont Hill, who in April tweeted happy birthday to his “brother,” convicted cop-killer Abu Mumia-Jamal, is commenting about the death of Billy Slagle. On death row in Ohio after being convicted of murder in 1988, Hill doesn’t believe Slagle got a fair shake:

http://twitter.com/#!/marclamonthill/status/364419923600080896

Slagle was a victim? What about the person he killed? That’s the “victim.”

The above tweet received this response:

http://twitter.com/#!/rynlyn/status/364421902309138433

Hill’s tweets on this topic included this misrepresentation:

http://twitter.com/#!/marclamonthill/status/364422228546301952

Read the article and it’s clearly stated that Texas faces running out of the execution drug not because they’re using it all to execute convicted murderers, but because the current supply will have to be discarded next month because it will have reached its expiration date, and no alternatives have been found.

One more comment from Hill:

http://twitter.com/#!/marclamonthill/status/364419104226021376

It is?
