NY Times: Time for Bush to Go.
Thanksgiving is next week, and President Bush could make it a really special holiday by resigning.
In happier days, Bush may have nurtured hopes of making it into the list of America’s mediocre presidents, but somewhere between Iraq and Katrina, that goal became a mountain too high.
If Bush gives up doing nothing by giving up his job, it’s possible that someday history might elevate him to the ranks of the below average.
“Doing nothing is almost the worst thing a president can do,” said the historian Michael Beschloss.

And, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
Watch it here( Has French subtitle)

Is Obama Screwing the Netroots?
When it comes to the netroots, Barack Obama has the long arm-short arm syndrome.
When I was first sworn into the bar, I had the good fortune of being mentored by an experienced and wise senior partner. One of the first things that he taught me in dealing with other parties was to be aware of the long arm-short arm syndrome. This is where a person has a long arm for taking, and a short arm for giving.
When it comes to the netroots, Barack Obama has the long arm-short arm syndrome. He has taken much from us in terms of support, voice, momentum, money, footwork and energy. Obama has given little, if anything, in return to the netroots. Unless you count disdain and scorn. And pokes in the eye with a blunt stick.
Meanwhile, it was 16 degrees here in the mild Piedmont of NC...doubtless, many suffered last night and the power went out before dawn for thousands of people. Why can't the power companies fix their grids so this doesn't happen when we're in the grip of a 2 week hell frozen over period?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Oprah wants her, and so do Letterman and Leno. Fresh from her political defeat, Sarah Palin is juggling offers to write books, appear in films and sit on dozens of interview couches at a rate that would be astonishing for most Hollywood stars, let alone a first-term governor.
...
Palin is considering about 800 requests for appearances from December through 2009, with 75 percent coming from out of state. A year ago, just a sprinkle of requests came from beyond Alaska's borders. They range from invitations to speak at The Chief Executives' Club of Boston to attend a 5-year-old's birthday party, from a prayer breakfast in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to a business conference in Britain.
Apparently, we haven't seen the last of her. Sounds to me like she will certainly run in 2012.
