More bipartisanship? Axelrod and Emanuel please say it ain't so
18 hours ago ago from Crooks and Liars
I saw President Obama talking to Katie Couric before the Super Bowl, and I didn't breathe for a few minutes as I took in what he was proposing. I guess they are spooked by the losses of the mythical independent voters in recent polling, but even if that's the case, it's a horrible idea from my perspective. President Obama said Sunday that he would convene a half-day bipartisan health-care session at the White House to be televised live this ...

This little bit of news has been lost in all of the Leno/Conan/NBC chaos (and overshadowed by this past Sunday's Super Bowl commercial with Jay, Dave, and Oprah ), but tonight is the last episode of 'The Jay Leno Show.' The guests tonight are Ashton Kutcher, Gabourey Sidibe, and Bob Costas.

by Ken I watched about 10 minutes of the Super Bowl (about when the Saints came back from their 10-0 deficit to take the lead), and it mostly served to remind me why I took this season off from football. (It's gonna be a tough call when training camps open in the summer to see whether I can get it up for the Giants' uphill battle to match this season's 8-8 record.) Later I had to make a trip to the supermarket before it closed, and they had ...
