The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Dude, where's my budget?
Rules don't apply to The Imperial Presidency.
President Obama missed the Monday deadline for submitting a budget to Congress, marking the fourth time in five years he has been late — and in a town where missing deadlines is routine, this one is beginning to get noticed.
The Budget Act requires that he submit a blueprint for taxes and spending by the first Monday in February, but only once, in 2010, has he met that deadline. This year, the White House hasn't yet said when it will have a plan.
But in an ironic twist, the president missed the deadline the same day he signed the aptly named "no budget, no pay" act, which withholds pay from members of Congress if they don't pass a budget by their own legal deadline of April 15. That was attached to a bill that waives the federal debt limit through mid-May.
You'll note that "no budget, no pay" doesn't impact Dear Leader. So, what does he care? His checks, and the checks for Queen Moochelle's entourage, will keep rolling in. He might have to cut out hot breakfast for our troops though. Hey, sometimes sacrifices are necessary.
And besides, he's busy. Retooling his re-election campaign into a gun-grabbing juggernaut. Making incoherent speeches. Shooting skeet. And of course, finding new and questionably legal ways to whack American citizens from orbit.
Come to think of it, he hasn't even had time for golf. So let's give
the guy a break, OK?
