Sen. Charles Grassley is playing the part of "useful idiot" for the Democrats' jobs bill that even the Associated Press says won't create many jobs. Now the White House is admitting that job growth might not drop the unemployment rate as the discouraged workers return to the job force. The no-jobs bill will not be subject to the paygo rules that the Democrats voted on last week, and may just serve to be a poultry bailout for some constituents of the endangered Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR). I'm calling it the "Poultry Payoff."

Saudi religious police are cracking down on anything that might indicate celebration of Valentine's Day.
Minnesotans for Global Warming have a new video out, parodying the Who's "Baba O'Reilly."
State House Appropriations Chairman Ben Harbin (R-DUI), fresh off of being slapped around by Karen Handel, now wants to stop the Georgia Lottery Corporation executives from getting bonuses.
