Now they got Biden defending the Stimulus. Funny. This is the same guy who’s been making excuses for it for weeks now, most recently on Sunday. But it’s all to no avail:

The current excuse…isn’t going over so well. In fact, it’s so easily disproved by rolling back the tapes of all the gloom-and-doom talk that permeated the president’s remarks in the early days of his term, that his critics are having a field day.

Indeed we are. And you can expect congressional Democrats to join the chorus as they clamor for a second stimulus and worry about 2010.

For our favorite state-run cable news networks, mediocrity is its own reward. Congratulations!

Hint: if you need fine print to brag properly, you probably shouldn’t be bragging…

UPDATE: Hard-earned mediocrity! CNN and AP spin misleading unemployment headlines.

Sorry about the lack of blogging today. I was running errands for much of the day. Annoying errands which depend on third parties doing their jobs and providing effective customer service in order to be accomplished.

But here are some cool links:

Drudge is linking to a photo of Presidents Obama and Sarkozy that is begging for a caption contest. I won’t reproduce it here because I’m not sure it would be Fair Use of copyrighted content.

In other news, Michael Moore has come up with a title for his documentary about the global financial crisis: Capitalism: A Love Story. Expect it to show how awful capitalism is and why everything is capitalism’s fault. I’m not posting the teaser trailer because I don’t want Michael Moore’s fat face anywhere on this site.

In economic news, Obama’s popularity seems to grow in direct proportion to the country’s economy, which is a fancy way of saying that the economy sucks. Or a fancy way of saying that Obama’s numbers are dropping. Pick whichever one makes you feel better.

Also, Gavin Newsom, Mayor of San Francisco, is trying to accomplish great things – through the use of government power, of course.

And finally, it’s not a salon, but the press was involved, it was off-the-record and it ocurred at the highest levels of government.

If Jon Stewart and his writers haven’t yet become part of these statistics then they must be close, because they just came up with a new regular segment that is bound to become emblematic of our times: That’s Great, Now Fix the Economy!
