Kid Talk
The wing nuts demanded a congressional investigation after the president’s speech to school children. That would be President George H.W. Bush’s speech in 1991.
Fears that our future generation of social security payers would be brainwashed by President Obama’s speech this week were overstated. He told kids to study hard and stay in school.Unfortunately they’ll be staying in failing public schools in DC because the Department of Education is shutting down the popular voucher program there.
Taxes Two Step
A Washington Post editorial calls for tax deadbeat Charlie Rangel to step down as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Or he could just step out with Tom Delay. The ethically challenged former House Majority Leader has landed a gig with Dancing with the Stars.

The president’s approval index rating is down to -11% according to Rasmussen. The rating is the difference between those who strongly approve and those who strongly disapprove. You can see the detail here.
Wild About Harry
Some of Senate majority leader, Harry Reid’s, constituents don’t like the way health care reform is going. He responded by calling them Evil Mongers. Not surprisingly, he finds himself down in the polls. Now he’s charming his way back by picking a fight with a man who buys ink by the barrel (not to quote Mark Twain). He told the Las Vegas Review Journal he hopes it’s going out of business. His defenders say he was joking. Judging by his Evil Monger thigh slapper, they could be right.
Please go here for the counterpunch from the man who buys the ink (Sherman Fredrick, the publisher)
