I’m a little late to today’s economic-stimulus exasperation party. Sorry. I was busy working at my unstimulated private-sector job, which uses pulp, ink, trucks, pens, notebooks and a lot of eletronics plus electricity and employs hundreds of taxpayers directly and indirectly to tell people how the hacks are trying to shaft them in Boston. It was great. I enjoyed it. Even though, far from looking for or getting any support, we’ve had to fight the government over simple things like the freedom to enter business relationships with other news organizations that might have made us more financially viable. Thank you, Ted Kennedy, liberal lion.

Saving Jobs The Chicago Way

How awesome is Obama? Pretty awesome - per the AP, the Pelosi/Reid/Obama stimulus bill saved 935 jobs at a Georgia state agency that only employs 508 people.

For decades in Chicago dead people voted; now Obama has figured out how to put them to work.

PROPS WHERE DUE: AP reporter Matt Apuzzo has a byline in this. A couple of years back we praised his effort in covering the Plame case, so keep his name in mind as an example of a credible AP guy.
