That’s the best growth in 2 years and to many signals an end to the recession. Why couldn’t Obama turn the economy around?

This is bipartisanship you can believe in: Former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel will soon have a new role in the Obama administration, he will be named co-chair of President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. In that capacity, Hagel will be charged with overseeing the work of the intelligence agencies for the president and investigating violations of law […]

When news broke yesterday that Lieberman would back a Republican filibuster against health care my instant reaction was “so”. As I continued seeing the blogs go haywire over the news my reaction changed a bit, from “so” to “so what”. Did anyone really expect Joe Lieberman, the man who was side by side on the […]

Very interesting article by the Politico: Republicans and Democrats slammed Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) for calling Linda Robertson, an adviser to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, a “K Street whore” in a month-old radio interview that circulated on Capitol Hill Monday night. “There’s no call for that language.

Following up on yesterday’s news of the White House now using the open source content management software Drupal to power their site I decided I needed to expand on it a bit more for my less tech savvy readers. First an explanation of open source software is in order before an understanding of what it […]

The home page of 1600 Pennsylvania avenue did a relaunch over the weekend. The most exciting part is that its now running on Drupal, the same software that powers IntoxiNation and Crooksandliars.  The day after Obama was inaugurated as our 44th President I did a post about having a more tech savvy commander in chief, […]

I never got a chance to touch on last week’s saga of “Balloon Boy”, so I have to mention now how this is so indicative of the problems with our society. We now live in a country where people will do anything to get on the teevee. The Heene family is the epitome of this […]
