And yes, Goldman Sachs is getting bailed out.

The new Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, thinks feels that anything done on the Mexican border, also needs to be done on the Canadian border, to prevent hurt feelings. Another clueless liberal.

This video is a short speech by the UK’s conservative rising star, Daniel Hannan, a Member of European Parliament. In the clip, he dresses down Prime Minister Brown for destroying the UK’s economy under the guise of crisis management. I wish the empty suit in the White House would take Mr.Hannan’s words to heart.
