Bettie Page, Pinup Queen, Passes:
Bettie Page, a legendary pinup girl whose photographs in the nude, in bondage and in naughty-but-nice poses appeared in men’s magazines and private stashes across America in the 1950s and set the stage for the sexual revolution of the rebellious ’60s, died Thursday in Los Angeles. She was 85….

STOP LIEBERMAN’S WITCH HUNT
Washington Monthly says Joe Lieberman is brewing up a witch hunt:
This seems to be routinely overlooked, but take a moment to consider what the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs actually does: it’s the committee principally responsible for oversight of the executive branch.

Phone Calls for Today
In the wake of Obama’s victory, I will be making some phone calls today.
For instance, I need to know what Joe Lieberman will do now.
Or John Boehner, who I wrote about last week: will he be calling Obama “President Chicken Shit”, or has he come up with a more respectful title? For that matter, does [...]
David Brooks: “Sour Grapes”
Oh dear. Poor David Brooks is crying “sour grapes” again:
Nov. 4, 2008, is a historic day because it marks the end of an economic era, a political era and a generational era all at once.
Economically, it marks the end of the Long Boom, which began in 1983. Politically, it probably marks the end of conservative [...]
GOP Staffers: Waitin’ In Your Welfare Line
A glance at the Republican job bank page on Texas Rep. John R. Carter’s website paints the whole, bleak picture with what it doesn’t show: real jobs.
“It’s a double-whammy,” said Brad Traverse, whose staffing website, www.bradtraverse.com, is a popular destination for job seekers on the Hill. “You have more firms who are both looking for [...]
Wheels Go Flying off the Bus
This one reads better with a soundtrack too, so before continuing, please click here:
