   Alligators? It is to laugh. One hopped-up armadillo could keep the border secure for the price of a bottle of tequila, a truckload of ephedrine, and three Tijuana chiquitas.

   moats missed in flyover country

   Obama is traveling today OVER the devastation being wrought by the Mississippi in order to get to events in Texas, where he will rally his Hispanic supporters with a speech on immigration in El Paso and then head to the Lone Star state’s liberal bastion of Austin for two fundraisers.

   White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, who spoke with reporters aboard Air Force One, was asked whether Obama had bothered to get a view from above.

   “I haven’t seen him do that but I haven’t been with him for the full flight so far,” Carney said.

   Well, it certainly doesn’t sound like they were on the lookout for it, and it’s clear the plane is not intentionally headed over a particularly devastated area for a look-see.

   Bet they can not-do jobs even better than American union members can not do them. Then again some jobs require the old Trumka style touch.

   10 days until the War Powers Act kicks in on Libya, and the Senate doesn’t seem to be terribly interested in the fact that we’re at war. Dick Lugar needs to be primaried, and hard. On the bright side, Flipper and Maverick started their homework, but they don’t figure they need to finish it because, you know, NATO. It’s not us, really, we’re just along for the ride.

   “I’m not hearing from my colleagues that they feel the War Powers situation is currently in play because we’re deferring to NATO,” committee chairman Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) told The Cable. Kerry had been working on a resolution with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) but the text was never finalized.

   The Brits had a good idea about what to do with DC back in 1814, but they should have salted the earth.

   “Spontaeous backlash”!

   Gag me with a spoon…

   The whole paragraph is gag worthy.

   With the spontaneous public backlash against anti-labor GOP governors from Wisconsin to Ohio to Maine, Trumka and other union leaders have an unexpected opportunity to rebuild the sagging labor movement — but it’s not obvious how to do it. There’s new political support from non-union members bewildered by an ultra-right GOP assault on working people. But there’s also a disappointing three-year record of Democrats looking for compromise with the anti-labor, pro-plutocrat GOP. What’s a pillar of the overmatched, underfunded Democratic Party to do?

   Lie-fe, live from planet proggie.

   oh noes the newt factor for mitchy:

   In 1993, Cheri Daniels left her husband with their four daughters and married another man in California. She returned a few years later, reconciled with Daniels, and the two were remarried in 1997. That is, in a nutshell, the story. The national press first picked up on it last year when it was buried at the bottom of an 8,600-word Weekly Standard profile.

   But much is unknown. Why did she leave Daniels? Why did she come back? That she would be reluctant to publicly answer such delicate questions in front of the nation seems only natural.

   A senior Republican official who worked in the Reagan White House said that “quite understandably, that’s a difficult chapter in your life, and whether you’d want to talk about that, if only for a few times, it’d be something you’d have to talk about.”

    How about this one, in Ralph Ellison’s The Invisible Man, the reason there are 1,369 light bulbs is because in Baltimore if you dreamed of an invisible man it meant you should play 1369 in the numbers. Of course, playing the numbers requires only three digits, and Ellison had no connection with Baltimore that I know of, so what do I know.

    This is just awful. Hitchens:

    On a much-too-regular basis, the disease serves me up with a teasing special of the day, or a flavor of the month. It might be random sores and ulcers, on the tongue or in the mouth. Or why not a touch of peripheral neuropathy, involving numb and chilly feet? Daily existence becomes a babyish thing, measured out not in Prufrock’s coffee spoons but in tiny doses of nourishment, accompanied by heartening noises from onlookers, or solemn discussions of the operations of the digestive system, conducted with motherly strangers. On the less good days, I feel like that wooden-legged piglet belonging to a sadistically sentimental family that could bear to eat him only a chunk at a time. Except that cancer isn’t so … considerate.

    Most despond-inducing and alarming of all, so far, was the moment when my voice suddenly rose to a childish (or perhaps piglet-like) piping squeak. It then began to register all over the place, from a gruff and husky whisper to a papery, plaintive bleat. And at times it threatened, and now threatens daily, to disappear altogether. I had just returned from giving a couple of speeches in California, where with the help of morphine and adrenaline I could still successfully “project” my utterances, when I made an attempt to hail a taxi outside my home—and nothing happened. I stood, frozen, like a silly cat that had abruptly lost its meow. I used to be able to stop a New York cab at 30 paces. I could also, without the help of a microphone, reach the back row and gallery of a crowded debating hall. And it may be nothing to boast about, but people tell me that if their radio or television was on, even in the next room, they could always pick out my tones and know that I was “on,” too.

    Like health itself, the loss of such a thing can’t be imagined until it occurs.

    The Hitchens thing is sad.

    Although I often don’t agree with him, he is always a delight to read.

    In that case, zino, this should cheer you up.

    So basically the unions are counting on exploiting migrant labor to salvage their upside down pensions.

    Pigs, up on their back legs.
