Via my talented Twitter pal…

The Internet remaining indifferent to content has been described as the free speech issue of our time. Then why is it called such a lame name is Net Neutrality? Syndicated columnist Tina Dupuy wonders.

You missed it? We have it:

Oops, she’s a he! ClusterFox time.

Kilmeade: “He, uh, she is a public and legislative affairs director…” Surprised, Brian?

Every time Richards began talking, the producers went to B-roll footage.

Andy Griffith reflects on the 45 years of the Medicare program and explains the new benefits under the Affordable Care Act.

Opie would tell his dad that he’s proud of him no matter what, and Aunt Bee would remind him to hold his head high and remember that he’s on the right side of the issues. Just like the old “Andy of Mayberry” show, here it is in black and white:

You know how bad things are for Democratic political figures these days? Even Andy Griffith’s poll numbers have seen a significant decline in the last 2 years.

Our latest North Carolina poll found Griffith at 44/22 in the state for a net favorability of +22. That represents a 25 point decline from June of 2008 when Griffith was at a net +47 (56/9.)

Hey, I take that personally! Little known fun facts: I have loose ties to that show. The late Earle Hagen, who wrote the “Andy Griffith Show” theme (I was a friend of the family), is undoubtedly spinning in his grave. And don’t get me started on Helen Crump (Aneta Corsaut, who I worked with on the TV series “House Calls”).  How about sticking to polls about politicians?  Where’s my pouting chair? But seriously…

I guess defending a successful program that actually helps seniors has become as passe as homespun situation comedies.

Rachel Brown (Dining Room Table-MA), is challenging Barney Frank… again:

Ms. Brown said her exchange with Mr. Frank inspired her to run against him Sept. 14 in the Democratic primary in the state’s 4th Congressional District.

Watch the video to see who this genius is:

“I didn’t realize at the time that if you had a better idea, you should take their seat,” said 29-year-old Ms. Brown, a devotee of economist Lyndon LaRouche.

Barney Frank:

“I regard her as an example of the price you pay for free speech [...] I don’t think she is very rational.”

I would love to see the two of them debate. Frank v. the irrational piece of furniture.  She’d probably come off very wooden.

Meg Whitman is not an option. Clear? Clear.

You all remember C Street, don’t you? If not, here’s a refresher course courtesy of Rachel Maddow:

“When you join this group you agree to give the other men in your prayer cell veto rights over your life.”

I guess in the past, they failed to veto the extramarital affairs of the other residents. But that’s all changing now… see?

Via Taegan:

The New Yorker runs an interesting piece on the “C Street house,” the Capitol Hill townhouse where a group of Christian lawmakers live and pledge “to hold one another to a life lived by the principles of Jesus.”

Despite a series of recent sex scandals by current and former residents — Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) being the most recent – Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) insists the “supper accountability session” will continue on Tuesday nights and “a question that’ll be asked about every four weeks is, Is anybody here having an affair?”

Welcome to Jesus’s frat house.

I’ve written about Marcus the PhD before, but now we have video!

Oh, and he’s not gay. He loves his wife. “Some say” he can cure The Gay right out of his patients, in fact.

But some observers claim that the mission of the practice includes counseling homosexuals in an effort to “ungay” them. “It is absolutely sincere,” adds former school board member Cecconi. “They specialize in ‘reparation’ regarding sexual orientation.”

Marcus Bachmann, who is also 50, denies that is part of his clinic’s practice. “That’s a false statement,” he says, refusing to answer any questions that don’t have to do with Bachmann and Associates. “Am I aware that the perception is out there? I can’t comment on that.” Still, Bachmann offers, “If someone is interested in talking to us about their homosexuality, we are open to talking about that. But if someone comes in a homosexual and they want to stay homosexual, I don’t have a problem with that.”

And with that, meet Marcus (h/t: Wonkette):
