I hate to start complaining about the new Obama administration the day after the election, but I am very concerned by the rumors that Larry Summers will be named Treasury Secretary.

In today's LA Times article, Iglesias speaks out about attorney firings

Federal investigators are examining whether electoral considerations -- such as a broader Republican initiative to enforce anti-fraud rules and cull questionable voters from rolls nationwide -- played a part in the termination of Iglesias and other U.S. attorneys last year.

Why hasn't there been a call to name a Special Prosecutor? These investigators should not be under the umbrella of the Justice Department or of the Office of Special Counsel. Gonzales is clearly not impartial in this matter and neither is the Office of Special Counsel.

I never listened to Imus. Occasionally I'd watch him on MSNBC in the morning if I hadn't changed the channel after Keith the night before. I was never a big fan, and before I knew much about the controversy, I defended Imus... I made a real mistake - because I didn't consider the victims. I wrote a few comments about it - which I regret now...

I didn't realize I was wrong until I saw this picture in the LA Times.

Given the disaster that Medicare Part D has been, I couldn't help but choke when I read the following quote from an AP story about today's Senate hearings.

"Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., said Americans are used to having things in an instant. It will take time to work out the problems, he said."

So old and disabled people who aren't getting life saving medicines aren't patient enough?

That sounds like pretty like a pretty bad policy argument to me...
