The Fed just raised interest rates by a quarter-point, the first raise since the big recession. They have to raise them so they can lower them again next time the economy collapses. Get over it. Move on with your life. You have a beautiful family.

The organizers of today's One Nation Working Together rally in DC really blew it by adding angry MSNBC buffoon Ed Schultz as a speaker. They introduce him as "one of the most courageous voices in America today." Ugh.

The possibility of blowing up the oil spill with a nuclear bomb has been thrown around by bloggers and pundits. But now the Department of Energy has officially said that we will not be nuking the oil spill. Borrrring.

Then the announcer lady from the Oscars introduced some Navajo Indians who are presenting the colors. The colors of the USA, the country that tried to kill them all. Then a lady said the pledge of allegiance and a chorus of children sang the national anthem and killed all Navajo dudes' cattle. Oh, Wolf just explained that those guys were the Navajo code-talkers from WWII. They are heroes and patriots! Jack Cafferty is babbling about how he is stealing things from Wolf's office as Wolf flies from Denver to Saint Paul in his tiny flying machine. Barack Obama is not even there yet! Someone here will tell you about Michelle Obama's speech, later tonight, probably. Now you are informed.
