What'd I Miss? Glorious War, the Queen and Dems Failing to Lead

Looks like I didn't miss much while on my travels. The biggest item that occurred from what I can tell was GOP Chairman Alan Keyes Michael Steele running his mouth off again. This time we got to hear his true beliefs and how he really feels about one of the GOP's most prized possessions, war without end.  It's hard to imagine the figure head of the GOP not supporting Glorious War.  It's a good thing figure head is all he is.

What else?

• The right wing Economist gets busted airbrushing a photo of President Obama to make him look friendless

• The Queen's in town

• Wall Street contributions to Democrats are down 65%.  That's kind of odd since the Dems are doing nothing to reform Wall Street.

• Failing to lead.  Ignoring nearly everything that is going on in this country, the House of Representatives last night, by a vote of 215 to 210, passed a "budget enforcement resolution" setting discretionary spending levels and making it almost impossible to imagine that any job-creation measures will pass in 2011.  Why?  Because this means there really is no budget.  Why?  Because Dems didn't want to vote for a budget that was over one trillion dollars in the red.  Why?  Because they would rather go the easy route and not have to actually do what's best for the country. All this sets us up for a possible double dip recession.
