In which Wolf Blitzer, of all people, schools Donald Trump on the air over his position on birtherism. An excerpt:

WB: Donald, you’re beginning to sound a little ridiculous, I have to tell you.

DT: You are, Wolf. Let me tell you something, I think you sound ridiculous, and if you’d ask me a question and let me answer it.

WB: Here’s the question, did the conspiracy start in 1961 where theHonolulu Star-Bulletin and the Advertiser contemporaneously published announcements that he was born in Hawaii?

DT: Many people put those announcements in because they wanted to get the benefit because of getting so-called born in this country. Many people did it. It was something done by many people even though they weren’t born in the country. You know and I know it.

Trump hosts a fundraiser for Mitt Romney tonight in Las Vegas.

When you hear South Bend, Indiana - what do you think? Notre Dame? Rust belt? Dead? Dying?

The more you know…

South Bend actually has quite a collection of historic and stately homes, including several former estates of the Studebaker family, in this part of the Sunnyside Farm neighborhood:

Deep-rooted history and excellent architecture flourish in the Old Sunnyside Farm Area. This near-eastside neighborhood …. boasts a vast array of housing styles, including Renaissance Revival, French Eclectic and Tudor Revival as well as simpler split-level and ranch-style homes. The neighbors are just as diverse, with long-time residents and young families happily mixing with Notre Dame professors. The neighborhood’s mature trees, expansive lawns and boulevard-feel roads speak to stability. Prices from modest charm $120,000 to extraordinary large homes large homes selling in the $425,000 range.

my dad ate a cucumber today and he was like “wow this is pretty cold” and then he just slowly put the cucumber down and stared into space for a really long time until he turned to me with wide eyes and quietly said, “oh my god. cool as a cucumber.”
