Quickies

  • Bachmann wins meaningless Iowa straw poll. Media immediately labels her frontrunner and somehow the second place winner of the straw poll gets less attention than people who didn't even participate.
  • Rick Perry enters teh GOP race.
  • More proof the 2012 race will be about Republicans complaining President Obama didn't clean up their mess quick enough.
  • During the past year when millions of Americans saw their entire finances vanish, the loss of their homes, and the daily struggle of providing basic needs increase demonstrably, Rep. Darryl Issa (R-CA) saw his personal wealth more than double. In large part the increase in his personal wealth can be conveniently tied to pork projects and tax money going directly to benefit his many businesses.  Oh did I mention Rep. Issa is chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee?
