Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is making the rounds with senators who will decide whether she will soon sit on the bench. She's meeting with ten senators a day for closed-door meetings. With summer beginning in Washington, staffers are grateful for all the doors fanning the air in the corridors of the Senate building.
The senators grilled Sotomayor about her ability to render judgments based upon the law of the land rather than her personal history. It was tense and nerve-wracking for Sotomayor to answer in-depth questions about her rulings, her legal philosophy and her education. All she'd brought with her were her tax returns.
General Motors, being dismantled by President Obama's wunderkind 31-year-old Brian Deese, will hand over it's Hummer line to a Chinese company that manufactures plastics and resins. The move is pure synchronicity. A pre-graduate from Yale Law school who's never had any experience in the car business selling a car business to a company that's never had any experience in the car business. Now that's an example of Obama's audacity of hope.
Next on the list are GM's Saturn and Saab lines. Several buyers for both have expressed interest in buying them. The leading candidates: a dentist in Stuttgart and a Russian 3-card-monte player in Gdansk.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney told an interviewer that he has no problem with same-sex marriages. All across the nation emergency rooms were inundated with progressive liberals complaining of whiplash.
Al-Qaida's number two man Ayman al-Zawahri blasted President Obama's visit to Cairo, saying it showed that the American leader was no different than his predecessor in dealing with corrupt dictators. But he's wrong. When President Bush visited Middle Eastern leaders, he brought tanks for a gift. President Obama brought an I-Pod with Barry Manilow's greatest hits.
Al-Qaida is worried that Obama will attract Muslims to him through his charm and eloquence. Public relations are not a particular strong suit for the terrorist organization, and they are casting wide for a consultant who can show them how to win hearts and minds. They offer a good salary and excellent bonuses for successful results, but their severance package....yikes!
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Il is apparently grooming his third son Kim Jong Un to take over the reigns of the government in the near future. Government functionaries are now referring to the shy and unassuming student who went to Swiss boarding schools as Our Commander Kim. Its enough to turn a young mans head. Sure beats his frat house name- Hey, Puffy-boy.
Meanwhile the military is scheduling not one but two missile tests in the coming week. Both are long-range rockets set to launch from both coasts simultaneously. Oh, by the way, what happened to Kims two older brothers?
Oh.
Members of the Obama Administration announced that there has been some improvement in the economic picture. Vice President Biden told an audience that there is a solid hint of stabilization while Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin characterized it as whisper-soft but quilted for extra strength.
At the same speech, Vice President Biden told the crowd that it was expected that some of the record-setting stimulus money would be wasted in the hurry to contain the economic collapse. He acknowledged that mistakes would be made, and that some people are being scammed already. Most Americans thought that the minute the Government announced the bailout plan.
