Jeez Louise.
The government acknowledged Friday that a shipment of peanuts from the plant linked to a salmonella outbreak contained a “filthy, putrid or decomposed substance” later identified as metal fragments. The shipment was returned to the U.S. in April, months earlier than reflected in a federal tracking database.
The rejected shipment — coming across a bridge [...]

Nationalizing Banking?
January 30th, 2009

It seems to me one of the major problems we’ve got is credit drying up. So we bail out the banks, yet they still don’t extend credit. They seem to think expensive trash cans for CEOs are a bigger priority. Perhaps we need banking – in some way – to become a federal concern. That [...]

Don’t know about the game, but its kind of weird how the voice sounds like Heath Ledger’s Joker. Is that now the definitive version of him?

Hey, conservatives, how does it feel to have a clown like Rush Limbaugh as the head of your movement? Nevermind, you guys love him.
MORE: CNBC’s Mark Haines is one of the few media figures who pushed back at the absurd Limbaugh a little bit. He certainly shows more backbone than RNC members of congress.

We keep getting reminded in the comments left here by conservatives and by cons in general that the Democrats now “own it”. In light of the fact that we run the White House, Senate, and House, we’re responsible.
DUH
That goes to the very heart of the difference between the left and the right. The right likes [...]

Republican response to the Democratic president’s budget proposal.
Now, Republicans and some Democrats in Congress heard the message you sent us last November. You wanted us to cut spending first — and we had a plan to do just that. It was a good plan. We tried to eliminate the President’s requested tax increases. We tried [...]

Somehow, this makes Jessica Alba even sexier.
After Alba told a Fox reporter that O’Reilly was ‘kind of an a-hole;’ he retaliated by calling her a ‘pinhead’ for telling a reporter to ‘be Sweden about it,’ assuming she meant Switzerland.
‘I want to clear some things up that have been bothering me lately,’ Alba blogged on MySpace [...]

Good.
Bucking the Obama administration, House Republicans on Wednesday defeated a bill to postpone the upcoming transition from analog to digital television broadcasting to June 12 — leaving the current Feb. 17 deadline intact for now.
The 258-168 vote failed to clear the two-thirds threshold needed for passage. It’s a victory for the GOP members, who warn [...]

I’m not a big fan, but Michael Wolff nails what President Obama is doing by invoking Rush Limbaugh’s name. Like Rove, Rush is more hype than anything. And Limbaugh has not tangled with someone at President Obama’s level, not even Bill Clinton. At some point, we’re going to carve this into the White House lawn:
