Politics As Usual

1,000 days without a budget.

Former Obama staffer caught in Identity theft- it appears he used the man's identity identity in an attempt to implicate the Republican Secretary of State in a scandal.

Edwards worked for Obama in Nevada and five other states during the 2008 Democratic primary and general election campaigns.
Somebody apparently tried to erase Edwards' bio from the web, but the ever-resourceful Glenn Reynolds, who first alerted me to this story earlier today, located it in the Wayback Machine.

TSA detained Rand Paul. TSA says Rand Paul's version of the story is false, but I know for a fact that TSA lies.  Rand Paul is a politician, but I don't have personal experience with him lying.  The White House, for some reason, sides with the thugs at TSA.

71% of Obama's donor bundlers visited the White House and 19% of them got jobs from the White House.

41% increase in food stamps since Obama has been in office.  Sounds like the Food STamp President to me.

Former CIA Agent arrested:

Kiriakou, 47, is the sixth target of a leaks-related prosecution since President Obama took office, exceeding the total number of comparable prosecutions under all previous administrations combined, legal experts said.

 He was arrested for allegedly sharing classified data with the media (he helped leak the torture and water boarding stories to the media):

The surge in such prosecutions is seen as a measure of the Obama administration’s determination to root out leaks, but it may also reflect the government’s expanded ability to mine suspects’ e-mail accounts and other digital devices for incriminating evidence.
The complaint filed Monday includes numerous passages apparently taken from Kiriakou’s e-mail exchanges with reporters as well as former CIA colleagues.
Critics warn that the crackdown will erode the ability of news organizations to expose government abuses. Steven Aftergood, an expert on government secrecy issues at the Federation of American Scientists, noted that Kiriakou is accused of being a source on stories about CIA interrogation measures that Obama described as torture.

Kiriako, according to the WaPo, is a former Senate Aide,but strangely, they don't mention which party or which Senator.  If you've been watching the news, you know that this means it was a Democrat.  Yes, yes it was.  John Kerry, in fact.  You think they'd have failed to mention it if he'd been the aide for say, any Republican at all?

The President's friend, billionaire Warren Buffet, stands to benefit from Obama's decision to close the Keystone Pipeline.

What we can expect to hear all about from the media:
