Last night, I went to set up the VCR to record “24″ (I know, I live in the stone age) and caught the last few minutes of President Obama’s press conference.
Thanks to the wonders of the amazing internet workers, I was able to find a YouTube clip of the segment I saw.

NPR’s Mara Liasson asked [...]

This doesn’t look good.
Via, Washington Times:
President Obama’s economic recovery package will actually hurt the economy more in the long run than if he were to do nothing, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday.
CBO, the official scorekeepers for legislation, said the House and Senate bills will help in the short term but result in so [...]

He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.
That was David Axelrod on why President Barack “Shared Sacrifice” Obama has the heat cranked in the Oval Office, so much so that he needed to remove his suit coat.

When the political blogosphere starts to drive me mad, I escape to the “crafting” folder in my feed reader for solace.
But these [...]

Security officials said the strikes, which saw up to five missiles slam [...]

Can I just say, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
This clip from the Daily Show is so hilarious.
I wondered how long it would take before someone pointed out that they are saying the same things. I must admit, though, less time than I thought.

Ann Althouse has a very interesting, yet disturbing, post about Obama’s cardboard boob-grabbing speech writer, Jon Favreau.  You just have to read it.  It is unreal.
Admit it! You’re jealous of Jon Favreau!
Not really.  I am jealous of Ann Althouse, though.  I always wanted to study law.  Now I just want to have the time to [...]

After the almost two year presidential race, finally, someone in the mainstream media admits that Barack Obama is “young and inexperienced.”
Let this be a lesson to all you naysayers out there, the American media always gets the story right… even if it is after it no longer matters.
