Much Ado
AP: The House Judiciary Committee chairman subpoenaed former White House adviser Karl Rove on Monday to testify about the Bush administration’s firing of U.S. attorneys and prosecution of a former Democratic governor. The subpoena by Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., continues a long-running legal battle with ex-President George W. Bush‘s former White House political director. Rove [...]
Any Day Now
The wimps in Washington, D.C. have cheerfully confirmed a tax evader as Treasury of the Secretary. I guess we can all stop worrying. The uniquely qualified Timothy Geithner will now, before our very eyes, single-handedly rescue the economy from a fate worse than death. Any day now, banks will turn the corner, and the economy [...]
Can I Get This On a T-Shirt?
Last week they had the Obamas juggling balls, and now CNN is asking: At least this time there’s no little icon signifying the existence of a t-shirt.

Section What?
We’re honored: State Option to Cover Family Planning Services. Under current law, the Secretary has the authority under section 1115 of the Social Security Act to grant waivers to states to allow them to cover family planning services and supplies to low-income women who are not otherwise eligible for Medicaid.

Posthumous “Surprise, Surprise!”
(1) The Bush administration may be dead and buried, but it is still capable of reaching out from the grave and surprising us silly.

John Boehner: The Man Of Economic Principles
John Boehner, as you might suspect, doesn’t much like President Obama‘s stimulus package. John Boehner, as you might further suspect, is unable to offer any coherent reason for his opposition. So the poor man does the best he can, pushing all the usual thoroughly-discredited economic claptrap of the Bush administration: House Minority Leader John Boehner [...]

And While We’re On the Subject
Here’s Dark Man X from last March: XXL: Are you following the presidential race? DMX: Not at all. XXL: You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton. DMX: His name is Barack?! XXL: Barack Obama, yeah. DMX: Barack?! XXL: Barack. DMX: What the fuck is a Barack?! [...]
I Brings Da Ruckus
How is it that Obama was sworn in this week and I missed the chance to post this video one last (?) time? I mean, he is actually “President of hittin’ that ass” now.

Unclear on the Concept
Presidential edition: Challenged by one Republican senator over the contents of the package, the new president, according to participants, replied: “I won.” It’s nice to hear Obama acknowledging the fact that he did win an election in which he, a nominal Democrat, handily beat an insane Republican. What I can’t figure out is this: Democrats [...]
