President Obama's top economic advisors disagree on the status of the economy. Larry Summers says that there will be job growth by spring of this year, while Christina Romer says that "of course" the recession isn't over.
Developing nations have walked out of the UN Climate talks because the rich countries (read: The United States) are not willing to pay them enough money. While they walked out, they did not walk outside because temperatures are 10 degrees below Celsius and most leaders did not pack for the cold. Canada is digging out from one of the worst snow storms on record, and it snowed in Australia Friday. It's almost summer in Australia. Back in Copenhagen, a reporter who was trying to ask questions about ClimateGate was shut up by UN security. The New York Times unwittingly admitted that stopping people from emitting carbon dioxide is impossible as long as people can afford to emit. The point is to prevent them from being able to afford to emit carbon dioxide.
Even though nobody really knows what is in the ObamaCare bill, including the number-two Senate Democrat, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services knows that it will raise health care costs, and two Democrat Senators are opposing the bill. This thing is on its deathbed.

Another problem that American troops in Afghanistan face (other than the lack of support from their Commander in Chief) is that the rules of engagement are so strict that sometimes they let the enemy get away to avoid a few civilian casualties. It is impossible to fight a clean war.
Iran's "peaceful" nuclear program for some reason includes testing the component of a nuclear bomb that triggers an explosion. Why would a peaceful nuclear program need that?
As Citigroup is set to repay $20 billion in bailout money, the wealth-redistributor-in-chief says that the reason banks want to pay back their bailout money is because the executives are greedy. He is also pushing banks to lend more. He would enjoy playing the new arcade game that is a hit in Britain, "Whack-a-Banker."
Students at the University of California at Berkeley attacked the Chancellor's home in protest of fee hikes and budget cuts. It's a shame the Chancellor didn't defend his property with force.

Those two students at Warner Robins Middle School who were having oral sex in class last week are going to face charges of sodomy and disruption of government school. Some parents are complaining that they want their children to be safe at school. Who was ever in any danger?
