Better late than never! This should be a super-sized roundup.

• Obama and Abbas at the UN.
• And Republicans shout, “Boooooooooo!”
• The White House’s woman problem.
• Bernanke out of bullets?
• Texans unimpressed with Texas Miracle.

It is a day ending in “Y” it must be time to call Democrats traitors.

There’s no nation ripe and awaiting a good thorough bombing, so it must be about really rich people having to pay a few more dollars in taxes, like Ronald Reagan required — only less.

Well, we cannot have that.

The Shaun Murphy Band — It Takes A Train, with special guest Tim Gonzalez.

I just got back from watching a taping of two episodes for Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers and I think Dr Drew needs to have Andrew Breitbart and John Hagee on to get some hugs. And not from Rick Perry.

Nikki Haley’s cherished factoid about job applicants failing drug tests is shown to be wildly bogus, she continues to push for drug testing of the unemployed anyway.

That’s the question that readers are undoubtedly asking after seeing this piece on President Obama’s budget proposals.

Today’s repeal of DADT is a day which many gays and lesbians have been fighting for and waiting to see for a long time.

And of course, there will be a lot of celebrations.

With that in mind, pardon me for being the “one who lapped up the water like a dog ” (it’s a Biblical reference from the book of Gideon) by checking out what folks on the other side of the DADT repeal feel about this historic day.

What the Republicans are doing is saying that a natural disaster must cause government accounts to drop. It assumes there’s a finite amount of money available for spending, and if a hurricane blows through your house, someone else, in this case hybrid vehicle manufacturers, have to pay for it. Now, the Chevy Volt had nothing to do with the hurricane. But they’re bearing the burden for rebuilding after the storm.

This is completely unprecedented in the history of the nation and defies common sense; that’s why Reid is fighting it, to make sure it doesn’t become a new normal.
