- Congress wants specifics, in writing, from known weasel Barack Obama about how he plans to spend the rest of the TARP money. [FOX News]
- A 26-year-old Army sergeant got to be Barack Obama’s stand-in at an inaugural dress rehearsal. We shall hope that the real President Obama’s inaugural address is slightly more substantive. [Washington Post]

- Stay tuned dudes because in just a few short minutes George Bush will be giving his LAST PRESS CONFERENCE, EVER. We will liveblog it. [Reuters]
I wonder if Georgie Porgie’s last press conference will be all about his legacy. If so, at least it will be mercifully short.
My fellow Americans: Also.
I was going to compliment Ken on waking up before 9:00am… then I realized this is Sara’s post.
Did anyone see Fred Barnes list of Prez. Bush’s 10 greatest successes? It’s kinda funny: http://yeahokthen.blogspot.com/2009/01/fred-barnes-loses-credibility-retains.html
queeraselvis v 2.0: I’m predicting something along the lines of
SUX IT, BEACHES!
*snort* *guzzle*
*hic*
And off to Paraguay.

Oh boy! Israel’s going to do urban fighting. According to militaree geniuz Kristol Meh, urban close quarter combat should be a breeze because there’s no hills around.
Re: FDA. Who needs regulation? If someone grows a 2nd head or their peen falls off or vajayjay grows teeth, it’s all good. The $aftey of the U$ Amerikan people is ju$t an annoying after thought compared to CorpoRAT profit$.
I’m afraid I’m going to miss Georgie’s last ‘tantrum in public’. Thanks for filling us in on the highlights.
It is unfair of Hamas to have militants in civilian areas. Israel will be forced to arm settlers on the West Bank…oh, never mind…..
I wish the FDA were regulating my drugs. My last ounce was full of seeds & stems. At least it was at a discounted price, but is this the kind of world we want our children growing up in?

Ah, of course. A Democrat is coming into the White House, so now it’s suddenly time for the Democratic-controlled Congress to demand to be told what the fuck is going on.
The FDA isn’t really regulating your food or drugs. Surprised?
This would be the FDA stuffed with high nitrate Bush appointees? Oh, *that* FDA. No, not surprised.
Clutching a tumbler of whiskey, his hair askew, “Mad Men” actor and nominee Jon Hamm grinned next to his wife. “To win again is great. We’re going to light the lamp. We’re going to party until late,” said Hamm, a little unsteady on his feet.
He then went to the men’s room and failed to return for a full 20 minutes, sloppily being groped and fondled in a dark corner by any number of people who were fantasizing that scenario at the time.
The end.
Also.
Naked Bunny with a Whip: I have been thinking along similiar lines. I would enjoy if Obama pointed out the wonderful job of oversight they performed for the last eight years, called them a bunch of wimps, and invited them to fuck themselves.
Preventing “Yer-A-Peein’” drugs from obtaining a US market share? No prob. Preventing heart disease and diabetes by leaning on food manufacturers to reduce high-fructose corn syrup and sodium nitrates? Wha?
“The rules allow drug and device makers to avoid reporting doctors’ financial conflicts if the companies certify that they tried diligently to get the information but could not. ”
We like, sent them a text, and wrote on their wall on face book and everything. Scary but hardly surprising
Ah, we can always count on the Democrats to show their spines of steel and stand up to…Democrats.
Thank god we have Nancy “impeachment is off the table (because I’m implicatet)” Pelosi and Harry “honey, I can’t find my balls again” Reid in charge of Congress. Expect the Republican agenda to be enacted in full.
Karen Riley, a spokeswoman for the F.D.A, said the agency opposed reviewing doctors’ financial conflicts before trials because they represented just one possible source of bias.
In other words, if we’re not going to do everything, why should we do anything? Makes sense to me. I’m going back to bed.
I watched some footage of the young Sergeant in the inaugural dress rehearsal. He did a great job of dodging the sniper fire. He must have had lessons from Hillary.
