Bob Woodward frothing at the mouth about Obama again. It's entertaining to see the far right, who have hated Woodward for a long time, now seeing him as a hero. He's never been much of an Obama fan.

The real slip here is when he all but says that he supported the last President Bush invading Iraq. If that's what he believes, that tells me all I need to know.

Looks like there will be no sequester deal. The poor will suffer the most, at least at first, but no one in Washington cares about them anyway. Wait for the media to tell us, breathlessly, that this is all for the best, unless they can blame Obama for it, like celebrity-obsessed Woodward.

Meanwhile, in the latest adventures of, "My God, this person has power?"

My job is federally funded and staff cuts are on the table... right now it is theoretical because nobody knows if funding will be cut, but if it is they will really have no choice but to cut 1 or 2 positions (out of about 50). I am not worried about my job because frankly they would be fucked without me... but still, what a stupid self-inflicted blow to the economy. That said, I kind of like the defense cuts and this was the only way they were going to happen.

Pretty sure Jeb Bush is going to be running for President. First step is moving hard right on immigration.

The media spent years weeping in his name - he was supposed to be President, the savior of us all, the repairer of Bush Sr's legacy, not his brother. This should get those Woodward types panting.

While Washington and our "liberal" media friends tell us that any worry about the sequester is no big deal and everything is wonderful, and anyone who is affected is just a loser anyway, here are a few stories about the impact.
