Osama bin Laden has a new audio tape out, challenging Barack Obama's ability to confront the war and the economy. Also from the world of radical Islam, a Saudi cleric says that it is okay for 10-year-old girls to be forced into marriage.
Faced with public opinion against them, the unions are rolling out a new ad campaign in support of their card-check bill.
Democrats are pushing their down payment on socialized medicine, the SCHIP bill, on the House floor now. They want to pay for it by raising tobacco taxes, even though smokers are disproportionately poor. Jeff Emanuel at RedState.com has the full rundown.
Hillary Clinton wants to use her position as Secretary of State to push for a new Kyoto-like treaty that the United States would be a part of. Meanwhile, it's cold everywhere, including in the metro Atlanta area, which will see 12 degrees on Friday.
General Motors says that they are working on their overhaul required by the bailout, but they're still not sure that they will be able to survive long-term. Wasn't that the point of giving them a bailout?
Despite voting for the original bailout, House Republicans will now vote against the second part of the bailout money. Even if a few Senate Democrats vote against granting the money, Obama is threatening to veto the disapproval resolution, so he'll get the money either way.

Citizens of Notasulga, Alabama are trying to get a cat un-banned from their local post office. He was originally banned because somebody wrote a letter saying that "this is a federal building and he doesn't pay federal taxes so he can't come in." I kind of like that standard. Can we apply it to polling places on election days too?
