- Tina Brown’s new Recovery.com, a popular new Internet Web-site in which users upload pictures of their cats and categorize them according to their appeal, is quite popular, making it all the more frustrating that America is not paid per pageview. [Top of the Ticket]
- Professor Obama will now give banks little “stress tests” that will determine their instability and whether or not the banks have been doing their secondary reading despite not participating in the seminar discussion. [The Atlantic]
- More Americans think Barry is going to handle this economy thing okay, thanks to his big convincing speech and probably the comparatively spectacular failure of weird Bobby Jindal. [Daily Beast]
- There is literally nothing that displeases Republicans more than children with working parents receiving health insurance—watch their stillness conceal the hatred. Dusty old robot Ronald Reagan stayed still too, in his grave. [Daily Kos]
- Congress’ own Uncle Junior, John McCain, boozily rolled out from underneath some umbrella in the Arizona desert to criticize the war effort in Afghanistan. [CNN Political Ticker]
I felt bad for McCain at the speech last night. He looked like he needed a Posturpedic chair to help him stand up and sit down so many times.
The CNN link took me to Google Mail. Is this some sort of “meta” thing I’m not getting, or has Google finally succeeded in taking over all media?
You’ve missed the biggest rumor on the internets! Our Barry is gay! I assume he’s gay for himself like every other Washingtonian. This is the biggest scandal since Hillary’s Martian lover.

Cicada: And the Daily Kos link goes back to the Daily Beast story. Juli, during these difficult economic times you really should be sharing your stash, you know.
Okay, in other news — the only thing I gleaned from that first story was that Joe Biden went to church today.
What about McCain’s secret plan to capture Bin Ladin? The Navy SEALs can still scuba into one of those caves and get him.
What, is the government not allowed to cut a deal with Google Adsense? This could really close up that ol’ deficit.
Links: And the Globe is saying the McCain is dying so that’s good news. Plus it’s supposed to reveal the ‘real’ story about the chimp rampage. Probably UFO-related. I’m off to my grocery store to get my copy before they run out.
Links: Eh, they’re just trying to balance their Bush Suicide Drama story. Which I will not be getting my hopes up for. I learned my lesson with that whole “Laura Bush Moves to the Mayflower Hotel over Condi Affair” thing.
Links: Wait! Is this the return of Larry Sinclair? ‘Cuz that would be kind of fun.
Yah, recovery.com …gov…,detailing where the money’s going, is so popular ’cause we’re trying to figure out where to hang our bucket to catch the golden shower. Or something.
Professor Obama got spoiled in this respect by the U of C.
I ain’t reading nothing!
Wheres my cash man!
chascates: SayItWithWookies: I just miss reading the Weekly World at the checkout line. The forbidden love story of Saddam and Osama, Martian lovers and so much more.
Jules, the Daily Kos link is going Daily Beasty.
I hope Professor Obama’s stress tests don’t involve E-meters and the Story of Xenu.
Links: Barry isn’t gay - he’s just all-attractive and all-loving, like any self-respecting sustainer god.
HopeyDope: I occasionally feel sorry for McCain for being feeble and better for nothing more than the subject of jokes. But then I remember he sold us out in Vietnam for apricots and cigarettes and wonder why we did not leave his ass there.
SayItWithWookies: I SO want Globe’s stories about Bush– his renewed drinking, his estrangement with Laura, and his being suicidal– if only because it would show that Bush is actually self-aware enough to know just how much of a fuck up he really is.
“Congress’ own Uncle Junior, John McCain”….um, I think you meant Uncle Fester.
(points for the Sopranos reference, tho!)
Speaking as a professor - best title to a piece…ever.
