This recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits.

Barack Obama took the oath of office for the first time since Abraham Lincoln. Barack Hussein Obama can spell his own name. Jesus walked on water; Barack Obama can emerge from the cesspool of Chicago politics and not smell like sewage -- (Rush Limbaugh). Barack Obama has arms so long he can put one ...

In Captain Ed's Redefining Hard Intelligence post, he points to a WaPo article in which an Afghan tribal chief is convinced to help our side when a CIA officer gives him Viagra. Great, WaPo.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) wrote a letter, co-signed by the entire Democratic Senate delegation, asking indicted Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to resign and not name a Senator to replace Barack Obama, who was also forced to resign last month due to Constitutional conflicts.
