A lot of big news today. Republican Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana, an eighty-year-old Senate veteran, lost his Senate seat of thirty-six years in the Indiana primary today. He was defeated by Indiana state Treasure Richard Mourdock, who is backed by conservative organizations and individuals from the NRA, to the Tea Party, to the Washington-based fiscal conservative group the Club for Growth. That is a big statement.

In Barack Obama's ongoing attempt to campaign on everything but his actual record, he is now fundraising with a promotion to give your very own mother a "shout out" on Mother's Day via Twitter. I get this guys emails everyday from his campaign team. They are worded in a manner that any seven-year-old can fully absorb and they serve no purpose but to raise campaign dollars through completely irrelevant, superficial means, $3.00 at a time. That appears to be his bottom line.

Here is Rick Santelli with yet another epic bombshell of reality:

And here is something about Andrew Breitbart. Remember him? He was the man who promised America videos of Barack Obama chatting with "silver ponytails" like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn in his younger days. He died mere minutes into the day that he intended to release the videos. Shortly after 12 a.m. on March 1, 2012, he suffered what has been deemed a heart attack. His death is oozing with conspiracy theory and here are a couple more blunt, irregular objects to place under your logic leveler. First, the videos Breitbart was referring to have never even been aired. He vividly described videos with Bill Ayers in Barack Obama's college days and once his death came to pass, the videos never even surfaced. Hannity aired a redundant piece on Fox about a radical relationship Obama had in his Harvard days with a professor named Bell and that was it. Where are the videos Andrew Breitbart was so passionately describing leading up to his death? Just as Breitbart died the day he intended to release these tapes, which would "change the entire election landscape", on April 20, the same day Breitbart's autopsy was to be released, one of the L.A. County forensic technicians involved in Breitbart's autopsy, Michael Cormier, 61, died of what is suspected to be arsenic poisoning. In both cases, the deceased were "seemingly healthy, yet suddenly stricken with severe sickness". And, 26-year-old Christopher Lasseter, the only eye witness to see Andrew Breitbart drop to his untimely death, has vanished. Lasseter claimed to have seen Breitbart drop dead "like a sack of potatoes". Lasseter claimed Breitbart's skin was an unusual bright red color when he collapsed, which is a symptom not related to heart attacks.

“I asked Lassiter specifically about Breitbart’s skin color and he said it was “bright red.” That bothered me because as an Army medical corpsman I knew that most heart attack victims turned blue,” wrote Paul Huebl, adding that Breitbart had drunk little alcohol and, “Poisons like cyanide, or carbon monoxide are known for turning skin red…The reality is they cannot be detected by normal toxicology testing.”

Private investigators have been hired to find Lasseter and nothing has turned up. Following the questionable death of Michael Cormier it seems Lasseter no longer has an address or any phone numbers and he is simply in hiding to avoid further involvement.

But I'm sure this is all just coincidence. 

171.4 miles to go. 

Here is what happened one year ago on Day253.
