Things are happening so hot and fast that it may take more than one of these
a week to cover events:

1.  John Zogby put it this way.  "One is a mistake.  Two is a problem.
Three raises questions of judgement.  How do you ask Americans to sacrifice
when cabinet members don't sacrifice until they get caught?"  This is a
paraphrase but an accurate one reacting to the Daschle debacle on Tuesday.
Obama is off the worst start of any president in my life, appointing wheeler
dealers like Bill Richardson and tax cheats like Tom Daschle, Tim Geithner
and Nancy Killener to high positions in the United States government.
Didn't Biden tell us that it is patriotic to pay taxes?  One writer put it
best.  "Obama is anxious to press the 'restart' button on his
administration."

2.  Obama and his wife duck out the White House to read to DC schoolkids,
giving Obama his "Pet Goat" moment; Obama tells a reporter
candidly, "We got
tired of being in the White House."  We are only two weeks in, folks.

3.  Some mullah or other Iranian muckey muck who is attending a conference
where Joe Biden will appear is refusing to meet with the vice president.
This after Obama takes to Al-Jazeera to criticize the United States and
offer an olive branch to our enemies.

4.  Before inauguration, Obama said that his work with congressional
democrats had produced an effective stimulus bill that he would sign into
law as soon as he took the oath.  The Republican caucus did a masterful job
of showing the American people that his bill is nothing but a sop to Obama
constituencies (union thugs, STD advocates, family planners, etc.).  This
pork-laden atrocity is on the rocks as Republicans united and opposed it.
Well done!

5.  While the rest of us are told to sacrifice in the name of energy
conservation (turn down thermostats, wear sweaters indoors, etc.), Obama has
the White House staff crank the thermostat high enough that he takes his
jacket off in the Oval Office.  One staffer said it is set at a
mind-boggling 85.  David Axlerod says the White House is hot enough to "grow
orchids."  Sacrifice for thee but none for me.

6.  Joe Biden, after mocking John Roberts in the inauguration oath fiasco,
botches Hillary's oath of office as her mouth-breathing husband looks on.

7.  Iran launched a satellite into space this week.
