…it is still only two weeks into the Obama administration. A bad start doesn’t mean a horrible finish. See Redsox v Yankees 2004 Playoffs.
It just seems longer because of all the adoration that took place in December and Jan and the calls for President Bush to step down.
That’s not to say I’m expecting much better but we are less that 1% into the first term, lets keep some perspective here.
Update: Glenn agrees
Tim Callahan doesn’t think much of the new Sgt. Rock Mini series The lost Battalion:
A Sgt. Rock comic without the artistic presence of Joe Kubert is likely doomed to failure — or at least doomed to constant comparisons — and Billy Tucci is smart enough to deal with the Kubert situation in the first panel of page one. He gives us a character drawing a picture of Kubert’s Rock, immediately signaling to the reader that Kubert’s version may be the “fictional” one, and Tucci’s is the “real” story of the World War II hero, complete with digital painting and plenty of photo-reference.
That Kubert-looking Sgt. Rock is the best thing in the comic, sadly.
Tucci is not Joe Kubert but he doesn’t have to be. He is Billy Tucci and that is more than enough. You will find the artwork first rate and the story even better. The series is currently on issue 3 and I can’t wait for issue 4.
There are very few comics these days worth your time. This one is.
…not cabinet posts.
Earlier Tuesday, Nancy Killefer withdrew as nominee to be the first chief performance officer for the federal government. Her threat to withdraw was first reported by NBC News. The White House later released her letter to the president, which in part stated: “I recognize that your agenda and the duties facing your Chief Performance Officer are urgent. I have also come to realize in the current environment that my personal tax issue of D.C. unemployment tax could be used to create exactly the kind of distraction and delay those duties must avoid.
With Daschle’s withdrawal this gives the Obama administration two new chances to generate revineue for the treasury without raising any new taxes. There must be more Democratic deadbeats out there. He wasted an opportunity with the Gregg nomination. No unpaid taxes. Cripes we are on a roll here.
Hotair asks a relevant question.
Follow the timeline here. Daschle knew he had a tax problem last June; Geithner knew he had a tax problem no later than November. Killefer’s problem dates to 2005. Point being, none of this came as any eleventh-hour surprise to Obama’s vetters … and yet all three were nominated anyway.
Because they are trying to generate revenue streams. And you thought scrappleface was just making a funny. More importantly if John McCain won would any of that money have been paid?
With him gone instead of attacking him the democrats have to talk about the bill itself. That’s not a good place to be right now.
