Turns out March 23rd is a big day for progressives! In 1919, Mussolini founded his Fascist movement. In 1933, Germany passed the Enabling Act, which "effectively granted Adolf Hitler dictatorial legislative powers." Whew! I’m sure glad that today, on March 23rd, 2010, those old-fashioned ideas of authoritarian government control are a thing of the past.

Cough.

Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson’s brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

Let’s see if Mr. Matheson rubs Barry’s back in return.

They don’t even care how it looks anymore. There’s either some kind of Democrat suicide pact in effect, or the fix is already in and voters won’t matter.

Sometimes I feel like I’m just waiting for Palpatine to dissolve the Senate, now.

OK, seriously? You don’t need to bow to the mayor of Tampa just because she’s Asian.

FAIL.

And today:

President Barack Obama says his health care overhaul has "run into a bit of a buzz saw" and acknowledges the process is looking ugly. Nonetheless he says he’ll keep working to finish sweeping legislation.
