Not Megan Fox

• New jobless claims edge lower - Certainly positive news on the economic front.  

• Foreclosures slowing - Also positive news, especially for homeowners worried about the ever-dropping value of their investment.   One may also say that this could usher in a jump in new home sales, if folks who have been hesitant to buy start regaining confidence in the market.  

• Sullivan passes on a Tax Policy Center breakdown of Paul Ryan's proposed budget.  Summary:  Great for the rich, not so much for the middle-class.   Surprise, surprise.  And Ryan was one republican who I actually liked. 

• The interweb was abuzz over an outtake pic of Megan Fox posing provocatively on all fours.    Turns out it's not even her.  We'll still pretend though.  That's the American way.   

• The Tiger whores who don't think they're whores, and don't want to be considered whores, had a battle to determine who is actually the best whore of those whores.  Jamie Jungers won.  Imagine bringing this girl home?  Your grandmother would have a stroke when she jumps pantiless on dinner table to demonstrate what she does for work.  Jungers, that is; not grandma.  You sicko. 

• Jon Stewart tears apart Marc Thiessen over the "Al-Qaeda 7" bullshit that hacks like Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol are pushing on the public.  By the end, Thiessen turns into a puddle and starts whining that Stewart talked over and didn't allow him to make his points.  Watch the video and decide for yourself.  Personally, I don't think you can blame Marc for stomping and crying like someone stole his Mailbu Barbie house. Everyone knows Stewart's chairs are painful on the vagina.
