» Not quite there yet: Congress has still to vote on stimulus bill.
» Gregg withdraws from Commerce Secretary nomination and the mainstream media is tripping over itself saying that it casts a bad light on the Administration… I say, get the obstructionists out of the way.
» Microsoft is a bit late to the party, and despite recession, plans to open retail stores… They ought to remind them about those Gateway stores from a while back.
» And no, in case you were wondering, Joaquin Phoenix’s rap career is not a hoax.

Rep. John Culberson, TX claims the “stimulus” bill must be urgently voted on today — because Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leaving at 6:00 PM for an 8 day trip to Europe!
Culberson made the charge on Houston’s KSEV radio.
Pelosi is hoping to lead a delegation to Europe; there’s a meeting with the Pope and an award from an Italian legislative group.
Calls to Pelosi’s spokesman went unreturned.
In the rushing, Democrats have now broken their promise to have the public see the $790 billion bill for 48 hours before any vote.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) predicted that none of his Senate colleagues would ‘have the chance’ to read the entire final version of the 1,071-page bill before it comes up for a final vote.
