From the Washington Post:

Transition advisers to President-elect Barack Obama have compiled a list of about 200 Bush administration actions and executive orders that could be swiftly undone to reverse White House policies on climate change, stem cell research, reproductive rights and other issues, according to congressional Democrats, campaign aides and experts working with the transition team.

All of you that were taken completely off-guard by this news, please raise your right hands. Now smack yourself on the back of the head.

Any turmoil and angst over this should[...]

A lot of you have seen the speech, some have not.  Overall, high marks for contents.  Very high.  I think he brought out the right issues, positions, and comparisons with Obama.  He’s working out the differences, which he needs to continue to do.  Probably the three key areas that he addressed and should continue to [...]

Tonight’s speech by Sarah Palin was a smashing hit!
It was truly inspiring and gave me, and clearly the convention delegates, an even stronger sense of confidence that we will win in November.
Palin hit hard against the liberal media and Democrats who have been attacking her since Friday.
She provided an excellent case for the McCain/Palin ticket.
And [...]

The downward pressure on the price of oil continues, although not as strong as the past few trading days.  At the end of the day, it was $117 (down $.22 from yesterday).  Oh, and the Dow was up 40 points.
Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich showed up today at the Capital to show support for the GOP Protest.  [...]

…the price of oil that is.  Down another few dollars to $117.22.  In the last few weeks, the price has dropped $30/bbl, or 20%.  I’m convinced it’s because Republicans and the nation’s PEOPLE are up in arms and pressing the majority party to do the right thing… just pressing the case for domestic drilling, in [...]

“Everyone knows…” are words I’m getting tired of hearing.  It is a subtle form of manipulation by forcing one to either immediately agree or disagree and by disagreeing become an outsider.  Katie Couric this evening says “The world’s oil problems all come down to the laws of supply and demand”.  Careful here.   On the [...]

More like “Over A Barrel”.  But now that we’ve taken the first step toward off-shore drilling in the US, the impact is already seen.  Because it’s really not about supply-side economics as much as perceived supply-side economics.  And now the perception is that the supply won’t be in a strangle hold any longer.
President Bush takes [...]

I tend to agree with just about everyone on the planet (Michelle Malkin, Bithead, Sean Hannity, et al) that has told John McCain, in fairly direct terms, that he’s a dunce for asking the North Carolina GOP to back off with the Obama ads featuring the Reverend Wright.  All this at about the same time [...]

Tonight, Bithead shares some thoughts resulting from this story by James Joyner at Outside The Beltway.  Various questions can be pulled out of the discussion, and James makes it clear that Fowler (a blogger), who attended the fundraiser where Obama talked about “guns and religion”, acted appropriately in recording and releasing the content.
Although I don’t [...]

Thanks to Bithead for holding down the fort this weekend!  My schedule was crazy and having a quality guest like Bit fill in for me is like going to McDonald’s, ordering a Big Mac and getting Prime Rib! Go visit him at BitsBlog.
Needless to say, I’ve got a bit to share.  I was a delegate [...]
