Harry Reid Ruined My Day
Posted by: | CommentsThe senate tried to pass a last minute, $1.2 trillion, 1,924 page spending bill last night. The bill had 6,630 earmarks totalling $8 billion. Even dead senators got earmarks – $8 Million for the Edward Kennedy institute and $10 million for the John Murtha Foundation! The Wall Street Journal called it “The 111th Congress’s Final Insult“. A cartoonist can’t ask for much more than that. Then, just as a 40 hour reading of the bill was about to begin, Harry Reid pulled the plug and spoiled all the fun. He ruined 3 days worth of cartoons. I think I’ll call my congressman.
Got this far.
Border Sam

Here’s a Washington Post story about border paradoxes. One of the unintended consequences of tighter border control in California and Texas is more illegal crossings in Arizona. Another is the idea that with more border security, illegal workers already here stay here.
Not Chris Matthew’s Leg Tingle

The Washington Post’s Ezra Klein ran a listserv limited to about 300 liberal media types called Journolist. Apparently the 300 included a whistle blower . The Daily Caller reported that Journolist archives include an NPR producer who would get a tingle out of Rush Limbaugh’s bug eyed death by heart attack – not surprising, an ignorant academic who thought that the FCC could shut down Fox News – also not surprising, and that real journalists discussed how to stop media coverage of Jeremiah Wright – way surprising.
Helen Thomas Sketchbook
Posted by: | Comments
Helen Thomas was forced into early retirement yesterday at age 89. (Go here for Dana Milbank’s column. Go here to watch Helen torment Robert Gibbs.)
Helen was recorded saying that Jews should get out of Palestine and go back to Poland. With that she bolted across the borders of acceptable free speech. She now exists beyond the pale along with cartoons of Muhammad and questions about the Civil Rights bill.
I wrote a children’s book with Helen and I’ve heard her talk this way about the Middle East many times. Helen’s opinions aren’t my opinions but they’ve been widely known for years.
Go here to see Ari Fleisher demand Helen’s resignation (reason enough for her to stay on).
