Just a quick note today.  I hope you read Dana Milbank’s entertaining piece in the WaPo today.  It’s not a good sign when the venerable newspaper of record for our nation’s capital turns against a Democrat!  (never mind the McCain hit piece on the front page, but still…)

Fresh from his presidential-style world tour, during which foreign leaders and American generals lined up to show him affection, Obama settled down to some presidential-style business in Washington yesterday. He ordered up a teleconference with the (current president’s) Treasury secretary, granted an audience to the Pakistani prime minister and had his staff arrange for the chairman of the Federal Reserve to give him a briefing. Then, he went up to Capitol Hill to be adored by House Democrats in a presidential-style pep rally.

While you’re in the mood, be sure to take a look at AFP’s great new video exposing the hypocrisy of global warming alarmists.

And, finally, in the “well, at least that’s something” category, John McCain attempted to prove he’s a solid conservative (oh, and an independent, too!) today.

“As many of you know, I’ve been called a maverick, someone who marches to the beat of his own drum,” McCain said proudly before being peppered with questions on offshore oil drilling, taxes and stem cell research from a largely Republican audience that nonetheless displayed a range of ideological views.

The Arizona senator insisted anew he would not raise taxes if elected president and vowed to appoint judges like Samuel Alito and John Roberts, conservatives named to the Supreme Court by President Bush.
