My posts are slacking.  Same ol’ same ol’.. or else everything worth writing about has been heavily reported as it is.  So to sum up:

ACORN is being investigated for reporting the registrations they LEGALLY had to submit but had flagged for the purposes of being investigated.  Is your head spinning yet?  Mine has been.

Powell endorses Obama.  Yay!  Yes, this makes me happy.  Also:  He didn’t do it because he’s black.  You jackass.

McCain is still the cranky old man who cried ‘Socialist!’

Palin was in my city, and I am not sure if it was a coincidence that the weather was so cold. Har har.

Joe (Sam?) The Plumber isn’t planning to buy a business, but if he was, the one he wants would have a tax cut under Obama’s plan.  Not that it matters, Joe (Sam) doesn’t pay his taxes anyway.

The economic sky is still falling.

So how is your week going?
