“Perhaps further fueling speculation that Barack Obama may replace Joe Biden on the Democratic presidential ticket with, say, Hillary Clinton, take a look at part of the president’s schedule for today…” [Weekly Standard]

Our guest columnist explains how his awesome P90X workout not only leads to zero body fat, but extraordinary tap-dancing skills.

First of all, those [Medicare cuts] are in the baseline, [Obama] put those cuts in. Second of all, we voted to repeal Obamacare repeatedly, including those cuts. I voted that way before the budget, I voted that way after the budget. So when you repeal all of Obamacare what you end up doing is that repeals that as well. In our budget we’ve restored a lot of that. It gets a little wonky but it was already in the baseline. We would never have done it in the first place. We voted to repeal the whole bill. I just don’t think the president’s going to be able to get out of the fact that he took $716 billion from Medicare to pay for Obamacare.

Duluth Minnesota:

This week, the Duluth News Tribune called out the State Patrol and Duluth Police Department for not releasing more information about a mysterious rest stop incident involving state Rep. Kerry Gauthier, D-Duluth. Yesterday, they were scooped.

The Northland’s NewsCenter, cited “well placed sources,” reports that “the incident involved a 17 year old boy with whom Gauthier was reportedly engaged in a sexual act.”

The rest stop/rest room angle adds a degree of difficulty (especially since the Larry Craig and Jim McGreevey incidents). Still, it seems a stretch to award even 2/10 diapers on the Stinque scale.
