"5) Alabama Ass Whuppin' Not only does this blog keep me up to date with the doings of The Drive By Truckers, but the anonymous author of this blog is, like me, a member of that rare breed: southern liberals."

He's looking more and more like a one termer everyday.

Elected with overwhelming majorities in both the house and the senate. Was put in the office to finally do the will of the people. He'd rather be 'bipartisan', though. Fucking worthless.

Rahm has engineered another Clinton, it is looking like. Rahm and Messina need to go.

Fucking sad, but unless Obama has some masterful sandbagging plan in place that shows itself in the next month, he's fucking toast with all liberals and most independents.

And we'll get to hear how the Republicans brought him down when they didn't have a goddamn thing to do with it.

‘Political Brain’ author: Obama sounds like Dukakis | Cynthia Tucker:

"“When people are anxious and angry, they look to their leaders for a way to channel that anger that is productive. That is part of what leadership is. (But) this president and his leadership team believe that leadership is channeling hope, and even touching anybody’s anger and anxiety is off limits. It’s the politics of Dukakis,” Westen said.

“What I think the White House hasn’t gotten is that if the public is angry and anxious and you don’t talk about that anger, and it doesn’t look like you feel it, you start to look like George H.W. Bush in the recession (of the early 1990s). Out of touch,” Westen said."

As I reflect on this day 0' birth, this could be me in 30 years.

He did what he said he do, though.

Stranger allegedly slaps crying child in store - CNN.com:

"Police said he hit her four or five times. 'See, I told you I would shut her up,' the suspect allegedly told the mother.

Authorities described 'slight redness' to the toddler's face. Before he was arrested, Stephens apologized to the mother for striking the girl, the incident report said."
