Weep, America: Liberaland’s Top 10 Stories of the Week

This week on Liberaland, you grieved with Mitt Romney’s defense counsel. You fretted over Ted Cruz’ financial misdeeds. You wished you were back in college, so David Koch could buy you a beer. There was just a lot of hanky-wringing going on, in a week when progressives won an historic budget battle.
