Happy New Year to all our atoning Jewish Brethren! Dodd banks on a Single Regulator, Obama scraps Bush's Missile Shield, Russia ditches its deployment, the House crushes ACORN's funding, Lindsay Graham does an about-face and stands up on his Benchmarks, neo-cons copy the Radical Playbook in a ploy for power, the FCC steps up to the Net Neutrality, the President prevails on Deval Patrick to appoint Kennedy's successor (and pleads with Patterson to pack it in at the Governor's Office)... Crowds boost Barack and boo Baucus. This just in: Bill O'Reilly pushes for a Public Option?!? What henhouse is FOX sniffing out now? Sack Sighting: Carter disrobes racism! New Jersey dons its tinfoil hat: 33% of its residents say the President is not a citizen, 13% say he's the anti-Christ! Former Interior Secretary Gale Norton bends over for the Justice Department's probe into her Shell game, and who says the Recession's over? Unemployment is up in 27 states!
