“I’ll say this for George Bush: you’d never have caught him frantically...”
– Matt Taibbi on the likely demise of the public option from the health-care reform bill (via AZspot).
The Democrats, and the Obama administration, do not have a mandate to pander to the crazy, scremaing, ignorant wingnuts and their death-squad propaganda. We elected them to run this place and get...
Happy Birthday, President Obama!

Thanks!

I’m sure Obama was excited to talk to someone as perfect as himself.
OMFG, you have no idea how refreshing it was.

A New Hampshire man says he swiped his debit card at a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes and was charged over 23 quadrillion dollars.
Josh Muszynski checked his account online a few hours later and saw the 17-digit number — a stunning $23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred...

WASHINGTON — The Navy is investigating how an unauthorized user in Iran gained online access to blueprints and other information about a helicopter in President Barack Obama’s fleet.
Employees at data monitoring firm Tiversa last week discovered that potentially sensitive information about the helicopter had been viewed by a “malicious” source in Iran, company spokesman Scott...

The fine print on torture
I officially banned the use of torture by the government against enemy combatants; I believe it to be the most moral and humane policy approach to this however. That being said, I reserve the exclusive right to authorize Rahm Emanuel to accomplish his goals “by any means necessary”—a Jack Bauer clause, if you will, in the executive order.
Somethings are just too important to be...
“I don’t know who you are or where you’ve come from, but from now on you’ll do as...”

This is actually Rahm Emanuel’s motto.
I've got butterflies in my stomach and a smile on...

It must be Inauguration day :)
Phew! You’re telling me!
Dammit! I flubbed the oath of office!
At least the speech went pretty well, though.
Michelle said she’d give me a foot rub tonight, so I guess I can weather my verbal stumble w/ John Roberts.
Barack's "Kill them with Kindness" Initiative

Starting January 21, Starbucks will salute everyone who pledges 5 volunteer hours with a free Tall brewed cup of coffee. Working together, we hope to inspire 1 million hours of community service.
Pledge 5
I wholeheartedly believe that if we just send young Americans over to terrorist training camps, offer them community service, throw in some free Starbucks and a pledge to meet...
First 10 things
southpol:
Dear President Obama,
Here is a list of the first 10 things you should do as president:
1. Fly to the White House in a helicopter. 2. Walk in. 3. Wipe feet. 4. Walk to the Oval Office. 5. Sit down in a chair. 6. Put hand-sanitizer on hands. 7. Enjoy moment. 8. Get up. 9. Get in car. 10. Go to the dog pound.
— Chandler Browne, age 12, Chicago
Dear Sir Obama - Presidential...
Doggone It!
Well, Michelle and the girls and I are still trying to decide what dog we want roaming the White House and bursting into NSA briefings. The NYT is reporting that we Obamas have never owned a dog before. It’s true; I hope they don’t mind my inexperience!

Conspiracy Theories
Contrary to what some would say, I am not in league with John McCain and a British-accented Sarah Palin and plotting to steal the Hope Diamond.
Where do these people come up with this stuff? Don’t they know I’m a pragmatist? If I were to steal diamonds, I’d steal from somewhere less conspicuous. Like Kenya, the place of my birth.
