Wednesday link dump: Triggering Mark Levin's Google Alert edition

• Contributors to National Review's The Corner are still painfully grappling with the dawning realization that their colleague Mark Levin is a thin-skinned, disreputable liar.
• Family Research Council issued a statement responding to the recent stories about their co-founder George Rekers and a male prostitute: "FRC has had no contact with Dr. Rekers or knowledge of his activities in over a decade so FRC can provide no further insight into these allegations." They don't seem to be buying his excuse.
• Oh, this is handy. Ezra Klein, the young Dickensian orphan who is single-handedly turning the Washington Post into the Daily Worker, has a post up "explaining" Fannie and Freddie.
• Happy Cinco de Mayo! This is the most important picture of the day.
