Greg Dworkin notes a measles outbreak in the UK tied to anti-vaccination agitation, Sen. Kelly Ayotte's (R-NH) scramble to deal with her gun vote backlash, and Larry Flynt's endorsement of Mark Sanford. The day's gun news is sadder than usual, with two young boys in two different states both shooting and killing their preschool aged sisters in the last two days. Gun enthusiasts on Twitter, of course, are outraged that the news has been read out loud. Armando joined the show to discuss all that, plus the emerging "Green Lantern" theory of presidential powers. Other topics: living in a 401(k) world, and the outrageous (and still growing) CEO-to-average-worker pay gap & what's driving it.
