Non-daily Digest
Obama’s first TV ad of the 2012 campaign contains deliberately misleading information. (What we used to call a lie.) Who knew? The WSJ notes that
In bold type, the ad proclaims: President Obama “kept a campaign promise to toughen ethics rules” and it cites: “PolitiFact, 1/21/09.”
But
Just two days later, on Jan. 23, Politifact moved its ruling to “compromise” when Obama gave a waiver to William J. Lynn III, the nominee for deputy defense secretary. By March 17, PolitiFact called it a “promise broken” because so many waivers had been granted.

WSJ — Showdown Over ‘Showrooming’
Showrooming is a moral failure which crosses the political divide. I’m saddened by how often I hear people talk about going into a store to check something out, then bragging about how they bought it from xyz.com for so much less. Why?

You have to love seeing experienced Democratic strategists open a piece with a litany of pure strawmen then spend the remainder attacking Gingrich. If he’s such a terrible candidate, why not throw your support behind him? Your guy should beat him handily, right? Right?
LA Times — Sterilized by North Carolina, she felt raped once more
She has every right to be furious. What was done to her by the state is nothing short of despicable. But holding current North Carolina taxpayers accountable for something done before many of us were born is simply piling one injustice on another. Make those guilty of the act liable. Punishing the innocent does nothing to achieve justice.
