I cannot make this stuff up. President Obama at his birth certificate unveiling this morning: "We've got enormous challenges ahead of us," he said. "We have to make a series of very difficult decisions about how we invest in our future but also get ahold of the deficit and debt," he said. "But we're not […]
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. decries the demise of the buggy whip manufacturing industry. iPad to blame for Borders bankruptcy But what about all the trees that are saved? Alternate headline: Jesse Jackson Jr. calls for clearcutting the Amazon.
Candidate Barack Obama on the evil of signing statements: That was then President Barack Obama upon signing the continuing resolution for the remainder of FY2011.

A few quick notes on our "kinetic military action" in North Africa: Is anyone surprised that the same administration that gave us "overseas contingency operations" and "man-caused disasters" would come up with "kinetic military action" to describe airstrikes against Libya? I've read all about the War Powers Act (and the debates over its constitutionality) and […]
