In our sport of politics section, we tackled the nomination and filibuster of President Obama’s judicial nominee Goodwin Liu. For a primer on the matter, see Quinn Bowman’s blog post.

In our sport of politics section, we pay homage to Randy Savage aka the Macho Man, who was integral in bringing professional wrestling into the mainstream popular culture.
