As the week powers on the senate does very little. They are arguing to the point of filibuster over a bill to promote community service. Community service…as in the most uncontroversial concept on our planet. Specter says he won’t support EFCA which leaves labor…well damn they don’t know.

Welcome back from spring break. I am still down in our Nation’s Capital. The Democrats still want to do things and the Republicans still don’t want to do things. This Geithner Guy keeps getting pooped on. Obama’s plans are getting destroyed by moderate democrats whose only coherent plan is to cut 25% of whatever he gives them. Oh yeah…and the Economy is still in the Crapper. So more or less good luck to you seniors trying to get jobs.

It has been a long week of insanity. I am surprised endlessly by the Democrats’ in ability to control the message. This is not to say that the Republicans are really driving home a message either. Sadly I think the media is driving the message, which is why Stewart and Cramer were this weeks top story.
