It's been a good week in politics.  
    
  1.  The economy is in shambles and likely headed for a deeper recession, the  
  unemployment rate hovers around 10 percent and the housing market is set for  
  a second crash.  Meanwhile, Jed spends untold millions to get Ellie May  
  hitched to the son of a convicted felon up northeast somewhere.  Barry and  
  Michelle are not invited to this tacky festival of kitch, but Barbara  
  Streisand is.  If GW had done something like this when Jenna got married, it  
  would have made the editorial page of the NYT.  "OUTRAGE!"  But these being  
  the Beltway Hillbillies, and this is The Weddin' uv the Century, y'all, the  
  NYT delivers breathless news of Ellie May's dress.  
    
  2.  The economy is in shambles and likely headed for a deeper recession, the  
  unemployment rate hovers around 10 percent and the housing market is set for  
  a second crash.  Meanwhile Barak Obama golfs, vacations and skips the 100th  
  Boy Scout Jamboree to go on The View and answer Babawawa's blistering  
  questions about roses and thorns and to talk of "mongrel" black Americans.  
    
  3.  Nancy Pelosi promises to drain the swamp of corruption in Congress and  
  up jumps Chollie Rangel.  
    
  4.  John Kerry decides to slip his boat out of state to avoid a half million  
  in taxes he would have owed on it otherwise.  Just as the issue threatens to  
  paint Horse Face as the tax-dodging hypocrite he is, te-RAY-zuh slips Johnny  
  his allowance so he can pay the taxes and get out of the mess.  Let GW try  
  that.  
    
  5.  Fearing a bad outcome for the administration, democrats in congress  
  strip from the CLEAR act a provision for an independent commission to  
  investigate the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.  Nuttin' to see here, move  
  along, folks.
