The year in review with a fine dose of humor. Jogs the memory with some pity commentary.

New York Governor Paterson wants to up state revenue by increasing taxes on gasoline, insurance policies, clothing, luxury items and...non-diet soft drinks.
Then he wants to increase state spending for WELFARE benefits and healthcare. Brilliant! A nanny-state cash grab!

Four links to four great posts: Obama's healthcare express, what Governor said once you go Black, you can't go back, Obama's end run around Congress - how he will stealth the Congress, and the meaning of the natural born citizenship clause.

Some commentary on why Caroline Kennedy should not become New York's Hillary replacement.

Spot-on assessment of the how out of line our politicians are today.
