So, Stanley McChrystal officially retired yesterday, I guess. How long before he’s an “anal-yst” for Fux News, telling the teabag faithful how Obama is doing everything all wrong?

Poor Charlie Rangel. He appears to be in a bit of trouble, and I don’t think he understands why. I mean, that’s just the way things work, so why are they picking on him? I’ve always liked Charlie. He’s a very snappy dresser – kind of a cross between a funeral director and an old-school vampire.

Barney Frank says Obama ought to appoint Elizabeth Warren as head of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – even if it means using a recess appointment to get around the obstructionist Senate Republicans. I agree, and I hope Obama gets Tim Geithner’s approval to do it.

Oh well, time to get out there and try to get this weekend over with. I can’t wait ’til Monday morning rolls around again.
