    Let the vetting begin. According to this report, the WH “is preparing a plan that would essentially give U.S. nods of approval to arms transfers from Arab nations to some Syrian opposition fighters.”

    It reminds me of the good old days when Ronald Reagan equipped and trained Osama bin Laden to fight off the Soviets in Afghanistan. What could possibly go wrong?

    A sheriff in Arizona has absolutely zero jurisdiction in Hawaii for enforcing Arizona law. However, he could look into Senator McCain’s birth certificate…

    It’s certainly handy that the second underwear bombing plot came along at the same time as an election, too, also.

    George Will? The talentless hack famous for writing in Newsweek that the movie The China Syndrome was too far-fetched and could never happen in the same issue that the melt down at Three Mile Island was on the cover? That George Will?

    I will vote for neither Obama nor Rmoney. Who is the Pirate Party candidate?

    It’s not my first car but my bestest car: the Nissan LEAF. $10 a gallon gas won’t faze me; it just makes my all electric car more desirable

    Obama will give an address on the Paul Ryan budget tomorrow, which I think is a better move with a better story to tell.

    Will their be a drinking game involving the words bipartisan and compromise?

    Starbucks just can’t stay out of hot water.

    Which is why their open carry policy makes sense.

    For God’s sake can someone get Obama away from the goddamned negotiating table. What exactly did he get for extending the Bush tax cuts especially considering he didn’t have to do anything to let them expire?

    Hopefully the Administration’s insertion into the online privacy debate won’t end up making things even worse.

    So… I guess you are new around here ;)

    The President of Komen was granted an ambassadorship by the Bush junta. What else do you need to know?

    Chicago has a lot of great things to recommend it but I never considered it a vacation destination. However, if it annoys Rahmbo I think I need to show up.

    I would give the electric car revolution some time, but they haven’t performed well out of the gate

    The early adopter premium is worth it for the feeling of smugness I get as I whir past BP, ARCO and Exxon highway robbery stations.

    Like the Democrats who followed Obama’s lead into extending the horrible Bush tax cuts for billionaires?
