TO WIT – THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GROVER

As Washington debates the Voting Rights reauthorization (don’t do it!) and the New York Times wonders why the word “slut” often follows a cheerful “hi,” the President continues his German tour of strange places such as Stralsund, Trinwillershagen, and Heiligendamm.

Need to know: I’m enjoying this new alliance with Germany. (Too much.)

Meanwhile, Republicans “back in the states” are outraged by the latest ad from the party of Al-Zarqawi apologists: [DCCC]

But, we have other things to worry about here at TRUTH CAUCUS. For starters, next week’s Georgia Republican primary.

Here are some things you need to know about former CRNC Executive Director Ralph Reed:

He supports the Fair Tax
He opposes amnesty
He’s pro-family and pro-life
He’s pro-gun
He’s opposes the use of eminent domain (Note to Kelso Barnett of Sonoma: that one was just for you.)

Let’s not also forget: Ralph Reed is the “right hand of God.”

Luther Lowe (he’s running for CDA president, Goddamnit) wrote on his blog: “Josh and I are at my favorite hotel in DC (the Helix) and making calls. I just got off a call with Lauren who suggested we have breakfast at Starbucks instead of McDonalds. I told her I’d switch only if she accepted my request on facebook to make our relationship status as “It’s Complicated.” The conversation ended with both parties anticipating egg mcmuffins for breakfast.”

A reader says Hotel Helix is the “most profane hotel ever” and has an “Austin Powers feel.” [Hotel Helix]

It is much different than my favorite Republican DC hang out (where I drink scotch indoors), The Hay Adams: [Hay Adams]

Speaking of Lowe, a reader reported that at yesterday’s Campus Progress, “Luther Lowe was everywhere.” As in…ubiquitous. Lauren Wolfe was nowhere to be found. As in…unwonted.

Moving on. Jeremy B. Hughes officially announced his resignation as the 1st Vice Chair of the Kentucky Federation of College Republicans. “I contemplated my decision for a few weeks and feel this is best decision for the KFCR and myself,” Hughes said. Chairman Hugh Derek Hall said, “During Jeremy’s two years of service as an officer he has worked tirelessly to advance the agenda of the KFCR. Jeremy is one of my closest confidants and friends and I fully support him in his decision to step aside.” Hughes is working on the “highly competitive” congressional race to re-elect Geoff Davis in Kentucky-4. (He should, however, honor his commitments.)

Only a College Republican-type personality would do something like this (and I love it), the Philadelphia Inquirer reports: New Jersey Senate hopeful Tom Kean Jr’s pol researcher Chris Lyon “once sent out thousands of anonymous post cards” accusing a New Hampshire candidate’s wife “of being in an orgasm cult.”

Grover Norquist wants you to know (and so do I) that the Democratic party is made up of “coercive utopians who want to get the government to give them grants and then tell the rest of us you have to separate the green glass from the clear glass, and our toilets have to be too small to flush, and our cars have to be too small to have kids in, and you can’t wear leather, and you can’t date girls.” [Prospect]

I can’t stand: Recycling. (If you want my aluminum cans, dig them out of the trash. I’m not separating anything.)
