    Gitmo Gaffe: Obama played Gitmo about as poorly as he could.

    Socialism Works!: GM explodes back onto Wall Street.

    The Ghailani trial should be evidence for more civilian trials, yes?  Such different standards for evidence in military tribunals. 

    The Shapiro piece sadly wasn't snark, I guess.  Guess Liberals loved Buffet when he quipped about his maid paying more taxes than he did.  Now I know he gave a fortune to the Gates foundation, but his NYT op-ed was...uh...sadly mistaken about the help that TARP was.  Now if he meant help to the banks, we could understand.  But what he left out was 90% of the fraud, pension loss, massive job loss, and now the MERS debacle...and his 20% ownership of Moody's, one of the credit ratings agencies where you could purchase a triple-A rating for bundles of ....uh...CRAP and JUNK. 

    Nice job, Warren; so glad to see Obama is about to give you and George H.W. Bush Medals of Freedom.  Christ in a Cadillac.

    (Can't watch the Gitmo video yet, Wolfrum.)
