Today's Mantra

"I think generations pretty soon are going to start to thank this president for what he's done. This generation will."

Condoleezza Rice, December 28, 2008.

Upward Income Redistribution Underway

Obama's resounding victory and expanded Democratic majority in Congress put GOP on the defensive. Still, with executive orders and pardon schemes, Bush in his last throes remains dangerous. Threat level lowered from High (Church and State to Merge).

The Avenging Angel

Norm Coleman, the Minnesota Senator, may be reaching the end of the line.

The man who in the past described himself as "a 99% improvement" over the late Paul Wellstone trails in the vote tally against Democrat Al Franken. Worse still, Coleman is now lawyering up for a scandal involving funds funneled to his wife for suspicious home renovations.

Contemplating defeat, Coleman said, "I'm sure I'll do something else." Such as, the Angel smiles, time in prison.
