Lunch Break Blogging

Some quickies while the SCOTUS hearings are on lunch break.

President Obama named Dr Regina Benjamin as the new Surgeon General today.

Liz Cheney with a major assist from the Wall Street Journal is now alleging that any Democrats trying to initiate an investigation into her father's actions shouldn't be trusted with national security. I knew it was fishy when the WSJ came out with a story about an assassination ring that supposedly only targeted al qaeda leadership. Sorry but I am not buying that shit. I think they just tried to shape the story and public opinion before the real story comes out. I mean just how many people would oppose the assasination of al qaeda members?! But what if it wasn't the whole story. We shouldn't buy their story until there is some substantiation.

Here are the texts of all of the opening statements in the confirmation hearing.

Tina Brown tries to single handedly bring back the PUMAS. EPIC FAIL!

Goldman Sachs is making an assload of money while everyone else is struggling. In other news, water is wet, and ice is cold. Oh and Matt Taibbi had something to say about this a little while ago.

Ok thats all for now. Back to the hearings.
