Nick Gillespie on three takeaways from Rand Paul’s heroic filibuster.- All 12 hours of the filibuster are now on youtube, for those who missed it.
- Let’s all take a moment to remember when Harry Reid tried, and failed, to stop the filibuster. So good.
- Brian Doherty brings the news that Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) were just as wretched about Rand Paul
- Nice Daily Caller article about Code Pink’s visit to Rand Paul’s office with thanks ruined by commenters urging death upon the “treasonous” Code Pink
- What the Democrats were doing while Rand was filibustering.
- Anthony Gregory: ‘Rand Paul’s Filibuster Divides the Right and Left’
- Editorial cartoonist reaches new heights of inanity re Rand and drones
- Max Read makes up for being awesome about Rand Paul yesterday by being lame about beverage bans today. This is pretty much the Gawker experience.
- Twitter and the filibuster — yes, it was a (falsely, no doubt, but still) warm and fuzzy experience being a libertarian on twitter yesterday. We get so few moments like that, that I am okay with it, no matter how much Rand Paul disappoints in future. (And if he becomes president, you can bet he will disappoint).
- I was prepared to be annoyed by this Dave Weigel piece on how crying “tyranny!” is good for political business these days, but it’s actually a good overview of where the left and right are on drones and not being into assassinating Americans.
- ‘How the World Forgot About Iraq’
- KKK not invading Oberlin, so that’s good.
- But! ‘Anti-government extremist groups reach record levels, say experts’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- By the way, the Southern Poverty Law Center is absurd.
- Website devoted to how medicine was modernized during the Civil War.
- Storytelling tips from Ira Glass [via @nhclarkson]
- A cathartic look at all the cinematic destruction of Washington, DC over the years.
- I am with this Jezebel writer, which is awkward.
