PORTMAN ‘BETTER SUITED’ FOR SENATE: Sen. Rob Portman waved off questions about the VP spot Monday, saying he’s “better suited” for a job in the Senate. “I was just elected,” Portman said, according to Yahoo! News’ Holly Bailey. “Ohio voters expect me to serve out my term.” Portman additionally defended Mitt Romney’s time at Bain Capital as Democrats turned his record there into a critical ad Monday.
This morning I overslept. I spent the weekend teaching a workshop on the east coast and then caught a flight home that landed at midnight. By the time I collected my luggage, got to my car and drove home it was 2 a.m. I didn't mind. I still felt exhilarated from the workshop and the happy, joyful response, which emanated from the people who attended. Their love carried me home on such a vibrational high I didn't feel tired at all. That is until the alarm clock went off at 7 a.m. and a wave of exhaustion swept over me as I reached over and pushed the snooze button.
Six months from now we’ll know lots of things: the name of the GOP VP nominee, the final jobs report numbers; the winner of the World Series.
Until then, we have a weekly update/summary of where things are, and where we see them going.

Both scenarios may seem like a good way to avoid paying payroll taxes and workers’ compensation insurance, but be careful here: Trying to avoid legal obligations when hiring is venturing onto shaky ground.

Colorado Boulevard is one of those streets that is known to millions of people around the world, many of whom have never set foot in California. In this case, it's because Colorado serves as the thoroughfare that hosts the annual Rose Parade, the float-tastic flower-power procession that precedes the Rose Bowl college football game in Pasadena, California. During the rest of the year, it's known as a great spot for shopping, dining and people watching for locals and tourists alike. But on a certain Sunday in May, it is also known as a place to see Prancing Horses. You see, Colorado Blvd.
