So Rasmussen Reports has the President at a 45% approval and a 53% disapproval rating after just 7 months in office. His meteoric rise to the Presidency has since began it's return to the third rock from the Sun. Some may want to analyze these numbers and find out why he is in a free fall. Me...well I think I will just delight in this bit of schadenfreude.
You feel better now don't you?

Spitzer to challenge Gillibrand
No, I am not joking. [h/t to Michelle Malkin]
Via NYPost:
Well, oddly enough, I think the Senate is a perfect place for a whore mongering sleaze bag to remake his image. It's not like he left a woman to die of asphyxiation in a river or something.

Via NYPost:
Less than 18 months after he left Albany in a prostitution scandal, Spitzer has held informal discussions in recent weeks about the possibility of making a bid for state comptroller or the US Senate seat currently held by Kirsten Gillibrand, sources said.

Cheney Speaks
The Sith Lord Cheney, leader of the VRWC, requests you watch him on Fox News Sunday. Set your decoder ring to 01-30-41-03-20-89. If that teaser is representative of the entire interview, we are in for some good times.
So, grab your pancakes and eggs and sit in front of the T.V. This Sunday morning watch what everyone will be talking about on Monday.
Have a good weekend,

Coincidence is a funny thing [UPDATE]
Today was an event filled day. In the morning I got called "brilliant" by the Only McCain who Matters. In the afternoon my Wife and I had our ultrasound appointment for our second child.
It's a boy!!
Since I am having a boy, I am now confronted with a tough question. Should I circumcise him?
Well, I don't know a whole lot about the subject. I do know that Andrew Sullivan called it "Male Genital Mutilation". I also heard that it may become mandatory under Obamacare. Then, of course, there are the Biblical arguments for circumcision. All of this I knew.
I did remember an episode of Penn & Teller's BullSh!t, but it really wasn't that convincing either way...damn libertarians.
I didn't know where to search or what to search that wouldn't end up taking me to a porn site. NTTAWWT. [That was for you Stacy] Finally I broke down and googled "circumcision, what a parent should know". Apparently some lady named Anne Briggs wrote an entire book about the subject. From what I gather she is against this brutal process, just like Andrew Sullivan. NTTAWWT IYKWIMAITYD. [Again, for Stacy]
My ADD then kicked in and I decided to check on my blog traffic and see what was new in google reader. It was a good traffic day with R.S. McCain linking. Coincedentally he had some new posts up about Trig Truthers.
Ugh...I thought. Not another deranged loony sponsored by Soros and company.
Nope.
Turns out it appears to be the very same lady who wrote the book on circumcision.
Anne Briggs a.k.a. annieb393 a.k.a Audrey. Trig Truther and Foreskin Friend.
Like I said at the beginning, coincidence is a funny thing.

R.S. McCain screwed the little guy
Today is a very sad day in the world of blogging for me. Recently I started reading The Other McCain [despite my heartbreak I will still link him], and I really admired his writing and his interaction with the lower tier blogs that are out there. I even received a call from him once after emailing him a post I thought was interesting. It was a pleasure talking with him and he secured me as a fan of his site.
That all changed today.
I got up this morning and played with my daughter a bit before taking her to daycare and starting my work day. I sent out my morning reports and checked on the political news. I am checking my google reader and I see R.S. McCain, shoe leather reporter, seeker of truth, falsely attributing MY work to Moe Lane, another blogging hero of mine. I have always wanted to be linked by R.S. McCain since I started reading him...but not like this.
See...look at that link...it say's Moe Lane, but the article it links to is my RedHot article on RedState which is crossposted here.
Now while I am flattered that R.S. McCain could not tell the difference between Moe Lane's blog-fu and my own, I would still appreciate the proper attribution.
Now I am not silly enough to go to war with R.S. McCain over this. I mean, I am no Meghan McCain. I would never go into battle unarmed.
So hook a blogger up Stacy, so we can put this unfortunate incident behind us.

Well that's interesting...
[h/t to azaeroprof]
President Obama has set a personal record. -14 in the Rasmussen Presidential Approval Index. This is 2 points worse that President Obama's worst thus far.
I know that hurts. I assume this hurts worse..
[Emphasis mine]
That is a unified Republican Party and parity in unaffiliated voters, in addition to an overall approval rating under 50%.
Waterloo anyone?

Seventy percent (70%) of Republicans now Strongly Disapprove along with 49% of those not affiliated with either major party.

Unemployment up once again...
The stimulus was supposed to keep us below 8% unemployment, that didn't happen.
In fact jobless claims have consistently been rising.
Ed Morrisey has an excellent post on this today at HotAir.
Ed shows a great contrast between this recession and the previous recession..
As Ed points out in his post, the last recession recovery was called a "jobless recovery"...I wonder what they would be calling this if a republican were president instead of The One™.
Anyhow...as the say, go read the whole thing.

The BLS also tracks “discouraged workers,” those who have left the workforce altogether and are not seeking jobs. That number has also reached highs not seen in at least a decade, with 796,000 workers currently falling into this category. Compare that to the last recession and recovery, where that number never rose above 534,000.
