Has the Justice Department taken President Barack Obama's promise of openness too far?
Police didn't have to dust for fingerprints to find this suspect — they just rifled through the wallet he left behind at the scene. Albert Vincent Perkins was charged with robbing First Federal Bank in Kansas City on Thursday. Police said he walked into the bank, handed the teller a plastic bag and ordered her to give him all of the $100 bills. Then he walked out of the bank — but left his wallet sitting on the counter.

Has MLB never seen the "Dewey beats Truman" picture? Clearly they haven't because there is just no justification for this ridiculous act. I was reading the Los Angeles Times and look what I found.
Did the most gifted orator of our time pull a "Biden"? Or was it deliberate? My sources are speculating that Obama himself doesn't want this healthcare thing to pass.
Given that the scheduled attendees looked more awkward than Sen. Robert Byrd at the NAACP Image Awards, Biden's presence made lots of sense.
"Now, people when I say that look at me and say, 'What are you talking about, Joe? You're telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?'" Biden said. "The answer is yes, that's what I'm telling you."
This much we know: Hand evil a big, sticky gob of power, and it quickly becomes a feral monster, dangerous and cruel and willing to sell its own shriveled heart and the heart of its very remorseful mother for a shot at everlasting infamy, even more power and maybe some fresh, raw …
But, happily, you're back just in time for commenting on the swine flu epidemic and offering your always-unique brand of advice. And hey, must say, you have some great ideas. Avoid planes (unless it's a private jet), subways, and anywhere else that many people gather.
VIDEO of Barack Obama screwing up his reading off his good friend, Mr. Teleprompter!
The Washington Times editorial board defended President Obama's crack about the Special Olympics Sunday, writing that although his comment was in poor taste, he clearly meant no harm and shouldn't be judged so harshly.

In his address last night, president Obama implied that an American invented the automobile ("The nation that invented the automobile cannot turn away from it"). It doesn't matter that the president was unaware this is false.

As Politico sums up: "In other words, any regulation finalized in the last half-year of the Bush administration could be wiped out with a simple party-line vote in the Democrat-controlled Congress."
Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined when he speaks. He needs to understand that as President, his words will be scrutinized and will have impact whether he intends it or not.
During the weekend preceding the actual election, a newscast from MSNBC mislabeled one of the states on their huge map. Repeatedly, they addressed Obama's plan to travel to three key Western states—which included Nevada, Colorado, & New Mexico.
Seems Italian politics are as rife with partisan antipathy as in America -- bandying about such tags as "imbecile," perhaps these fellows should join the debate on the Vine! They'd fit right in...
Gaffe-prone Joe Biden put his foot in his mouth again today, mistakenly excluding millions of Americans from his running mate's tax-cut proposal.

In most political speeches, the common refrain is "my fellow citizens". John McCain just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."
"Across this country this is the agenda I have set before my fellow prisoners," he declared. In the prepared remarks he was supposed to say "fellow citizens."
At a campaign event in Pennsylvania today, the gaffe-tastic John McCain addressed the crowd as "My Fellow Prisoners." I know getting owned by Obama last night must have been tough on John, but surely not so tough as all that.
An interview with the Temple graduate student who questioned Palin on policy to be implemented in Pakistan. Pay particular attention to what he actually asks (the play it twice) and how Palin repeats the question later in the Couric interview.
