Honduras
I just read Neal Bortz's column on the situation in Honduras. It's an interesting summary of events, undeniably curious as to why President Obama quickly spoke up on behalf of Zeyala but let Iran simmer for weeks before issuing an "entirely consistent" -- according to him -- statement about the protests.

Barak Obama and the North American Union
Move along, nothing to see here.
Daily Motion posts a video of Mr. Obama, pre-election, denying any knowledge of the North American...what was it you called it?

What do you make of this crap?
Before becoming Mr. Obama’s top economic adviser, Lawrence H. Summers liked to tell a hypothetical story to distill the trend. The increase in inequality, Mr. Summers would say, meant that each family in the bottom 80 percent of the income distribution was effectively sending a $10,000 check, every year, to the top 1 percent of earners.
....Mr. Obama’s budget reflects that sensibility. Budget experts were still sorting through the details on Thursday, but it appeared that various tax cuts and credits aimed at the middle class and the poor would increase the take-home pay of the median household by roughly $800.
