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.
