From Talking Points Memo. “The red bars are the accelerating rate of job loss during President Bush’s last year in office; the blue bars are the decelerating rate of job loss during President Obama’s first year of office.”

Don’t know if the title is correct, and these are all still job losses. Still, that’s quite a graphic.

SotU analysis by my favorite presidential historian… she hit the nail on the head, is a funny gal as well!

Today’s forecast: “Mostly sunny with temperatures warming rapidly into the mid to upper 20s. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.” (Emphasis mine.)

You know it’s cold out when it’s going to warm rapidly into the mid to upper 20s.

Thanks!

…to President Obama for the shout-out to Allentown, PA in tonight’s SotU speech. Mad props.

I was waiting in line at the café this morning when this photograph on the cover of the New York Times caught my eye. It was arresting. And devastating.

I don’t know how long I stared at it; I was still uncaffeinated and still kind of feeling the previous night’s vodka and in this sort of daze that threatened to turn emotional at any moment. Another patron asked if I was waiting in line. I told her I wasn’t; I needed to keep staring.

What a terrible thing we did over there. What a terrible thing that we chose to stop talking about it, that we chose to forget about it.

Hear, hear.
