The CIA is giving Viagra to Afghan warlords to procure information about Taliban movements. Insert your own joke here.
Retail sales have been down this year, so retailers want to get a piece of a "stimulus plan" (read: bailout). Meanwhile, Amazon said that this has been their best year ever. While there is a recession going on, the Associated Press points out that some retailers will come back stronger than ever, which always happens during economic downturns.
The Republicans are in about the same position politically this year that they were in 16 years ago when Clinton was about to take office. The most important difference is that there were enough conservative Democrats for Republicans to work with then; now, the House Democrats are so far to the left Republicans can only hope to try and stop their agenda in the Senate.
It turns out that the winter is bad for "clean" energy sources like wind and solar. If we allow global warming to happen the way they think it will, then there won't be a winter to get in the way of solar and wind power. Also, if you're flying through San Francisco you can buy carbon offsets at an airport kiosk to avoid doing any damage to the earth.
The attempt to bailout people who couldn't pay their mortgages hasn't had much success. That won't stop the Democrats and the Obama administration from trying to push more individual bailout programs.
The bailout of the automakers could cost us $100 billion by the time it's all over because they'll definitely be back for more.
The New York Times editorial board yesterday wrote a column endorsing a "path to citizenship" for illegal immigrants in the United States while engaging in plenty of Bush-bashing. They also called anybody who actually cares about the rule of law a "nativist." So Bush sucks, and conservatives are racists. Thanks New York Times!
Guess what? The world is still a dangerous place! Thanks, Department of Homeland Security, for letting us know!
