Oh Tweety. It’s fine, really. If we were Boomers, we would forget that people were black sometimes too.
Samuel Alito was on his absolute worst behavior last night, mouthing “not true, not true” when Obama criticized last week’s Supreme Court decision to allow corporations to download elections and politicians from iTunes. Anyway, sad thing for many South Carolinans today, when they eventually find out they cannot elect Samuel Alito. [TPMtv]
For the record, Obama is totally into jobs now, not health care. [New York Times] Obama also called for a repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, which means all those Facebook petitions worked!! [Los Angeles Times] Meet this latest thing you will own! It is called the iPad, and has literally no function other than [...]
So Obama said he didn’t like TARP but thought it was necessary. This led Chris Matthews to say, “I forgot he was black tonight, for an hour.” Ha ha, well hopefully he remembers now. America’s future depends on him knowing this. [Think Progress]

He writes these laughable columns that say “maybe the President should take a cautious, incrementalist approach to address the SWEEPING TSUNAMI OF FINANCIAL RUIN that threatens to cripple America for a generation,” but then he talks such hilarious smack about Bobby Jindal. So for today, Brooks is an alright guy. [...]
This ad and another one like it have apparently been plastering the conservative Internets today in the Louisiana Governor’s latest “viral marketing” move for his nascent 2012 presidential campaign.
