» Glenn Beck And Ron Paul Befuddled Over Christianity, Forgiveness, Slavery

From Think Progress: "On Tuesday, the House passed a formal apology for slavery and racist segregation laws, recognizing that 'African-Americans continue to suffer from the consequences of slavery and Jim Crow.' Yesterday, Glenn Beck spent nearly 30 minutes on his radio show mocking the apology. He continued expressing his outrage on his CNN Headline News show last night, during a discussion with Ron Paul. Paul wondered why Congress should apologize, since ' personally weren’t responsible.” Beck claimed that the apology “was a front [sic] to the principles of Christianity.'"

THIS HAS GOTTA HURT There surely won't be much news about this today — Clinton and Obama are the big stories — but McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee, didn't do so hot in North Carolina. What, you ask, does "not so hot" mean when the only other GOPer he's competing against is Ron Paul? Well, a whopping 27 percent of North Carolina Republican voters chose to avoid actually voiting for McCain. In addition to the 8 percent that voted for Paul, twelve percent voted for Huckabee, who is not in the race, and four* percent chose "no preference."

*Not sure about the remaining 3 percent.
