I’ve been out of it all week, and I’ve still got the remnants of a major overnight sinus headache, but there’s a few items that need to be explored:
- Sen. Russ Slim…er, Feingold has been running into a wee bit of Tea in his recent listening sessions over his support of PlaceboCare.
- Robert Stacy McCain is not letting either a shoestring budget or an ugly knockdown of a credentialed journalist deter him from wearing out the shoe leather to bring reports from the “unexpectedly-hot” special election to fill the Senate seat held for ages by Ted “The Swimmer” Kennedy. Related, the shenanigans are beginning, with the Democratic Secretary of State saying that, if Republican Scott Brown completes the upset, he won’t certify the election for 32 days, and the Democratic-controlled Legislature looking to change the certification laws again to delay it even more.
- The White House has
doubledtripled down on Porkulus after getting smacked by just about every semi-reputable news organization over its 600K “created/sved” number, now claiming every job at an entity that received so much as a dime of Porkulus money as “saved” to get to the 2 million number touted. - There will be new TARP fees on banks to make up for what the government spent to
saveseize AIG, GM and Chrysler (which will be exempt from said fees).
