The Morning Papers

Dick Cheney’s been making the rounds in the press. Check out the wonderful tributes to him here, here and here as he exits. Cheney also mocks incoming VP Joe Biden’s grasp pf the Constitution (I’m literally floored here) and Congress, even though he’s leaving the White House as one of the shadiest VPs in history. One of Cheney’s criticisms: that Biden won’t have [...]

No words necessary. Enjoy.

The Morning Papers

Paulson wants to spend the second half of the bailout money. What did he do with the first half? Auto industry officially on life support. This gives new meaning to Lil Wayne’s “Mrs. Officer.” Wasn’t this called “Liar, Liar?” Hillary tells Kennedy detractors to relax. Some Iraqi’s want a return to the way they were. [...]

Plenary Video Of The Day: Everybody Wants To Rule The World

  The Huffington Post reports on President Bush’s admission that he’s cried “a lot” as president. Bush’s tears made me think of Tears For Fears, which made me think of one of my favorite songs by the English pop rockers: “Everybody Wants To Rule The World,” which could be a soundtrack to many of things going on [...]

The Morning Papers

   Time Magazine Named Barack Obama Person Of The Year (No Surprise). They have a nice montage of Obama photos, including some from his college days. Two observations: (1) Obama looked like Michael Evans back then; and (2) thank God for Obama that these photos didn’t come out during the campaign. Could you imagine the attack [...]

The Morning Papers

Just what I thought. Cleopatra looks more like one of my cousins that Elizabeth Taylor. If Dick Cheney changed in office, what was he like before? Four-year old boy gets early start on career in crime. Life without parole trumps 20 years of appeals on death row. Pennsylvanians are jealous that Illinois is stealing their [...]

I’m feeling the heck out of this song and video!

Oh, Now Everyone Wants To Claim Obama

Now, everyone knows – or should know about the Southern one drop rule. If you have one drop of black blood, – one drop (and your hair curls up when wet) – you are black.   All during the 2008 election cycle, everyone made it a point to raise the obvious fact that Obama has some color to him. [...]

Breaking News: Iraqi Journalist Throws Shoes At President Bush

AP/Getty Images Talk about irony. I was online shopping window shopping for shoes, when news broke that an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at President Bush. Bush’s response: “All I Can Report Is It Is A Size 10.” This is considered to be a major insult in Iraq. Update: Here’s the video:

White House To Obama: Hold Up, Son

The Obamas plan to move to DC in early January so that the girls can start school on Jan. 5.  Since Obama’s going to be president and all, the Obama family asked the White House if they could move into Blair House – the place where all presidents usually stay in the five days leading up the Inauguration [...]
