Just these tidbits:
- Tonight is Obama's State of the Union speech. Also known as the Let's-Try-Bipartisanship-Some-More Surrender speech.
- A week after crowing that the Massachusetts Special Election victory for Brown meant that Democrats Lose Forever and that Republicans Are ALWAYS Right, the Far Right is already complaining that their Savior Brown is more moderate with his voting record and habits, and more deferential to the likes of Sen. McCain, than they'd realized. Coming on the fact that the RNC is going to vote soon on that Purity Test proposal, the fact that their current elected darling wouldn't have passed the purity isn't going over well...
- Speaking of GOP disappointments, their hopes of that young lad O'Keefe being the next conservative media darling took a huge hit this week with his federal FELONY arrest for attempting to wiretap a Senator's home office in Louisiana. Given how O'Keefe operates - clownish undercover 'sting' operations designed to make ACORN look bad - this may have been in his mind another 'prank' or something similar. But dude, ignorance of the law is no excuse, and wiretapping (if you're not FBI or NSA) tends to be ILLEGAL. Especially if the person you're tapping is a sitting US Senator WHO HAPPENS TO BE ON THE HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE. /facepalm
There is, of course, a lot more to this case than at first glance. Still and all... BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ta-Nehisi was right: this was a sweet flagon of Schadenfreude...
- Obama is planning to visit Tampa tomorrow as part of his tour to promote the White House's suggested plan to
create jobs in this harsh economypromote high speed rail construction to create jobs. Great. That means I don't have to drive up to DC now to drop off my resume, I can just hand it to him while he's here... whadda ya mean, the Secret Service agents will take it? Fine. Just don't... (agent tosses the resume on top of a pile of 50,000 other resumes)... well, just fine... sigh.
So, how goes it in your part of the world?
