- So Al Franken managed to steal the MN Senate seat, eh? Nice. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that there will be significantly less chattering about "stolen" elections on this one.
- Just realized on the ride into work that this week will be the first full week I've worked since before Thanksgiving. Need moar koffey, kthanxbai...
- Certain states want to take measures to tax drivers by the mile. Now, if only there were some way to tax a commodity that people used to power their automobiles that could be taxed instead... Oddly enough, MA isn't one of these states. Yet.
- Yet ANOTHER Obama appointee bows out under the cloud of scandal. Boy, it's a good thing that we're starting fresh here, with none of the old "business as usual" under the Republican "culture of corruption", eh?
- The Obama daughters start school today at a private DC school that's been the stomping grounds of presidential children for years. Good for them! Anyone saying that they should have gone to a DC public school is too clouded by partisan dislike of their father to think straight, IMHO.
- And another one for the "glad it's not business as usual" files: Passing the bucks: Congress gets hefty raise while economy suffers. Yep, that (Democratically-controlled for over two years) Congress just voted itself a hefty pay raise. Yawn...
That is all.

Oh I have no problem with his daughters going to a private school... I do have a problem with him being opposed to school choice for the regular guys that cant afford private schools.
Actually, they didn't NOT vote themselves a hefty pay raise. The raises come automatically unless they vote against them.
Figure the odds that will happen.
Chris,
No argument there. Just a quick riff on the whole "if he opposes vouchers he MUST send his kids to public school" train of thought.
Believe me, I'm no fan of Barack Obama in any stretch. But he does seem to have his kids' best interests in mind, and I applaud him for that.
Larry,
A fair point, to be certain, and when you think about it, even more damning. They've got the system rigged so that they get their raises and can honestly say they didn't vote for raises...
