Bill Clinton in North Korea
1. Surprise! Former President in Pyongyang – White House calls it a “solely private” mission. And by Private we assume he means: secretive, quiet… etc… Because there’s no way Bill is vacationing in North Korea for the hell of it. Two US Journalists are still being held there after being sentenced [...]

Palin is out
1. See ya Sarah - The now former Governor of Alaska makes a reference to “that grizzly guards her cubs” in her farewell speech. Cubs are on their own now I guess. That and she gets defensive with the media: “She also took a parting shot at reporters. ‘Democracy depends on you,’ she said. [...]

Senate says: No cash to close Gitmo
1. Senate Dems won’t give Obama the cash to shut down Gitmo – Hang on Harry… I thought Guantanamo Bay was one of those symbols of the Bush Administration that just had to go? Now you’ve got your President in office, he wants to close it, and you guys won’t give him the money? What [...]

There’s sand in Dick’s craw.
1. Dick Cheney will not go quietly into the night – The former Vice President has been everywhere lately (including radio shows in North Dakota) trying to keep the GOP from veering away from where he and the neo-cons had it going for so long.

Obama Will Appoint a Latino Woman Supreme Court Justice
Barack Obama will appoint a Latino woman (or is it Latina?) Supreme Court justice. I guarantee this will happen.
Our first African American president cannot follow Bush’s lead and pick a white man. That’s been done before, and this is change we can believe in.
Our first African American president cannot appoint a black justice either. That [...]

Buy Some Stock, Fools. Start the Revolution.
Here’s the strategy: buy low, sell high. What the fuck are you doing? You’re selling. You should have sold already. That’s what trailing stops are for. It’s time to buy. Remember in 1999 when you wished you had bought eBay, Cisco, Qualcomm, and Home Depot stock back in 1997. Well, now’s your chance — it’s 1997 [...]

High Fructose Corn Syrup, Hg, and Rush
1. High Fructose Corn Syrup contaminated with Mercury?
So they only tested 20 samples. But 9 of the 20 had detectable amounts of mercury in them. Ugh. They also went to grocery stores and bought 55 products with HFCS in them. Everything from BBQ sauce to Yogurt. One in three had [...]

Geithner, Google maps, and EIGHT babies.
1. Tim Geithner is your new Treasury Secretary.
So what if he neglected to pay $34,000 in taxes, and he couldn’t figure out turbo tax. He’s now our guy. Final vote 60-34 with 10 Republicans voting yes. You think Hank Paulson is glad to be the hell out of Washington?

Oprah a Senator?
1. Blago Considered Oprah for Senate Seat
Eat your heart out Roland Burris. This guy really could be insane. Meanwhile he skips out on his impeachment trial and goes on every network or TV show that’ll have him. And that includes The View. (From ABC News, Politico, and youtube)
