It must be tough living in the Governor’s mansion during a recession.
Proving that in South Carolina, backwoods coon hunting usually cures all ills, the state’s top leader, Mark Sanford, “disappeared” after a stressful few days.
No one knew where he went. Not even his wife!

According to the ABC News blog, Sanford left last Thursday and he [...]

Barack Obama signed a new law which tries to limit the reach tobacco companies have when advertising to children.

(How awesome was Joe Biden’s hot pink tie? Love it.)
The law bans tobacco companies from advertising within 1000 from schools and playground and curves their power to tempt children with “appealing flavors.”
Obama said he hopes the bipartisan [...]

John McCain stood before his peers to discuss the events in Tehran and the death of a young Iranian woman named “Neda.”
Neda Soltan was shot and killed during a protest in the streets of Tehran. Viral videos of her bloody death have spread all over the internet.
Her name has become the newest rally cry for [...]

Vice President Joe Biden had to swear in the Administration’s senior staff today, only he didn’t know the words.
Instead of just asking for the oath script and calling it a day, he made a snide remark about Chief Justice Roberts that evidently left President Obama seeing red.
Watch our new president’s reaction to Biden’s jab.

During the [...]

Barack Hussein Obama makes his first presidential mistake as he swears into office. A little jumble with the words, the Supreme Court Justice decided to not take notes. Well, actually he wasn’t president yet…

I love Diane von Furstenburg. Her Spring 2009 collection is below.

She uses flowy materials in bohemian cuts that remind me of meadows, hills, and tambourines. Spring to her is what it is to me: a time to pick wildflowers and look ultra feminine while remaining comfort and glamorous.
I approve.

The Oval Office was the scene of a historic photo op. Four presidents and President-Elect Obama met to discuss how he was going to clean up after all their mistakes. Awkward.

Right wing nut Pat Robertson said he’d give Bush a “C-” and that he’s “remarkably pleased” with Obama, thus far.  Ladies and gentlemen, we have just entered the Twilight Zone.

About a month ago, Robertson also said the President-elect could be one of the best leaders in the history of the United States.
Obama has gotta have [...]

Keith Olbermann makes fun of the latest chapter in the trashy Palin saga.

Despite being caught on tape making illegal deals, disgraced Illinois Governor Blagojevich refuses to resign. Instead, he blames "a political lynch mob" of spreading false accusations about him.

During a press conference, President-Elect Obama was more than evasive, he was rude.
When asked about his Chief of Staff’s connections to disgraced Governor Blagojevich, Obama responded, “Don’t waste your question.”


Rahm Emmanuel has reportedly been captured on wiretaps discussing Obama’s vacant senate seat with members Governor Blagojevich’s staff.  The extent of those talks is unclear.
Although there [...]

What’s in a name?
A rose by any other word would smell as sweet- unless that word is in Arabic because that is the language of the terrorists.

Fear-monger extraordinaire Ann Coulter called the President-Elect by the name “B. Hussein Obama” throughout the primaries to remind Americans of his Muslim ties.  And everyone knows being Muslim is [...]

Barney, the first dog, gets the White House ready for Christmas.

The White House, Iraqis, and even Hugo Chavez comment on Shoe-Slinger Gate.

Governor Blagojevich, the man who basically put Barack Obama’s senate seat on E-Bay, still hasn’t resigned from his position.
Outraged state law makers will take action in to their own hands and start a committee to starr the impeachment process.

Democracy is in danger but bureaucracy makes the process to defend it drag.  I would think what [...]

You can't make this up. Makes for good TV.

Obama is keeping it in the family when it comes to his appointment for Education Secretary.

Chris Matthews et al. discuss the friction between the Clinton and Kennedy dynasties within the new context of Caroline's political ambitions.

That is so horrible. And scary.

Governor Sarah Palin’s home church in Wasilla, Alaska was lit ablaze today.  Officials are calling it arson.

The fire took 8 hours to douse. There were also people inside of the building when the fire was set, including two children.  Luckily no one was injured.

The Associated Press reports the church is valued as much as [...]
