So, the past couple of weeks is what vacation looks like. You get what you pay for. A belated thanks to all of you who purchase items from Amazon via the links here, it doesn’t cost you any extra, and a few extra bucks go into my pocket.

First, a quick reminder about what President Obama actually promised when he was running for President back in 2008.

Boy, was the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget wrong! Increase the deficit by $200 billion—that would’ve been the very model of restraint! And he promises to make sure “as president” that his rescue package will be structured responsibly—then he outsourced it completely to Congress!

And when Obama’s complaining about “the rich,” remember that he’s one of them.
