Man, have I been lazy!

Here's a few things that I am only now getting around to posting.

1. Obama and the "Special Olympics" kerfuffle: GET OVER IT! It's one of the few things that he said that seems genuinely funny and self-deprecating. If this is the route past $%&#ing Political Correctness, the Special Olympians truly will be heroes. There is so much more that Big O says that should be called to account. Then again, I would like the special bowler to go to the White House and wax The One.

2. If the Republicans are unable to explain why the Democrats in Congress and the Clinton Administration are primarily to blame for the housing/AIG meltdown, they don't deserve to be in government at all. It's an easy story: tell it.

3. Did anybody notice that Obama more or less wrote off the billions of taxpayer dollars already given to GM and Chrysler this morning? Shouldn't somebody, you know, say something about that?

4. Ron Gettlefinger is, in my humble opinion, the principal architect and stumbling block of any meaningful recovery for US Automakers. If you're going to fire Wagoner (or however you spell it), you ought to fire Gettlefinger, as well. The man adds NOTHING constructive to what is a very serious set of negotiations to try and save a rather important domestic industry.

5. Did anybody see the Talking Head for the Democrats being interviewed on Fox this morning (yes, I watch Fox -- tar and feather me) alongside Rich Galen. He actually tried to blame the Republicans for AIG bonuses and the rest of the bailout nonsense. Note to Democrats: you are in charge, you own this, and you're still whining like a bunch of thirteen year-old girls. And you are governing about as effectively as a bunch of thirteen year-old Special Olympians.

Been carrying those around for a bit. Thanks for tuning in.
