Some interesting articles to read:

Doom and gloom .. Obama says that the financial crisis will turn into “a catastrophe” if the bill isn’t passed quickly. The quicker it passes, the less time you have to oppose it. Obama, of course, is afraid the American people are going to catch on to what’s really happening before he can sneak this bill through. Remember the “don’t let a crisis go to waste” line?

Well it’s official, folks. Obama signed the Children’s Health Insurance bill, which extends health insurance to millions of “low income” children, some of whom are in families earning over 300% of the poverty level. This is the camel’s nose.

Take a look at this clip of Harry Reid claiming that our income tax system in this country is voluntary.  What a dork!

Obama claims that this economic stimulus bill will create or save at least 3 million jobs. Where is he getting that figure from? His top economic advisors, who admits that the jobs estimate carries “considerable uncertainty.” Besides, what’s 3 million jobs when we’re losing 500 million a month?

Would someone please tell me how giving money to Filipino veterans who aren’t even US citizens is going to stimulate the US economy??

Nancy Pelosi “isn’t sure” whether or not we are inevitably going to need another bank bailout.

Charles Rangel is facing questions about why he failed to disclose any royalty income earned on his 2007 memoir. Another scandal for Rangel.

Bank of America has decided that it is going to sell its corporate jets. Barney Frank is slobbering in delight.

A judge in Brazil has ruled that a television is considered an “essential good.”

Saudi Arabia says that 11 men that were released from Guantanamo Bay are now on Saudi Arabia’s most-wanted list.

Obama has had a rough couple of days here .. as this article says, Welcome to the major leagues, President Obama. And this is coming from the San Francisco Examiner!

The biggest opponent of green energy projects included in the economic stimulus plan? The NIMBY crowd.

The DC City Council unanimously passed an ordinance that requires motorists to de-ice their cars before driving.

To close the budget gap in Florida, what is the logical thing to do? Increase the cost of speeding fines. What about slow drivers? Can we increase the fines on them too?

And for the big news of the day: Obama has not smoked at the White House. It’s been two weeks, folks.

Is this just a joke or is it racist? You decide.

Your “aww” moment for today: a hero dog saves another dog hit in the road. Don’t worry, there’s a happy ending!
