"Hello, Barry."
Wow. At his town hall in New Hampshire today, Obama deployed conservatives' all-time favorite example of government ineptitude --- the United State Postal Service --- as an example of how public and private enterprises can peacefully co-exist:

Jonah Goldberg on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's awesomely consistent logic:

Several weeks ago, Innocent Bystanders' resident chart wizard, geoff (and fellow missile defense dude), started comparing actual monthly unemployment numbers to the prime fear-inducing illustration Obama wielded during the stimulus debate.
As seen in his economic team's chart, Obama argued that without the massive stimulus, unemployment would be much worse. The [...]
Unsatisfied with triggering post-traumatic stress among thousands of Manhattanites, the Obama Administration sets its barnstorming sights on, well, flyover country. This time they conducted an unannounced low-flying, suspiciously orbitting exercise over downtown Memphis:
