The New Civility
A Spanish-language newspaper in Atlanta, El Nuevo, has published a doctored photo of new governor Nathan Deal in a brown Nazi uniform complete with a fake Hitler mustache. El Nuevo Georgia said its complaint with the Republican governor has to do with strong anti-immigrant rhetoric he used during the campaign last year. (Politicsdaily, 1/25/11)

Democrats expressed outrage at the actions of El Nuevo in light of the national cry for civility. Just kidding!

Concessions
As several of his own aides concede — especially those who have left the White House or are preparing to — Mr. Obama failed to rally the country behind his strategy for combating the most marked economic crisis since the Great Depression. His health care victory came at a tremendous cost. Foreclosures and a jobless rate of just under 10 percent seemed a symptom of national drift, downward. (NYT, 1/26/11)

Count us shocked to find this….in the New York Times.

State of Confusion
Beyond his welcome if vague support for reducing corporate tax rates in return for closing loopholes, Mr. Obama offered not a single new idea or spending cut. The bulk of his address was devoted to his familiar priorities that he said Republicans should spend more on. Green energy subsidies. High-speed rail! (WSJ, 1/27/11)

RedStateVT has no real issue if the government wants to throw a little money at green energy research. However, for Obama to endlessly harp on this as the job engine of the future is simply ridiculous.

Aliens Among Us
U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich is suing a restaurant company for $150,000 for selling him a sandwich containing an unpitted olive, the suit alleges. The olive caused Kucinich "serious and permanent injuries" as well as "pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment," according to a complaint filed in Superior Court in Washington, D.C.

In the 2008 campaign, Kucinich admitted that he believed he had once seen a UFO. (AOLnews, 1/26/11)

Always nice to see Democrats working on behalf of their main supporters: the trial lawyers.

Quick: for President, Dennis Kucinich or Sarah Palin?
