*Retirees, Taxpayers Ripped Off to Subsidize UAW, by Hans Bader.

*Fact checking the dueling National Security speeches at Politico.

*When asked a question about the contents of the Cap and Trade bill that he helped author, Rep. Waxman (D-CA) said, “I certainly don’t claim to know everything that’s in this bill.”  Video at link: (H/T Hot Air).  Allahpundit nails it:

“…the fact that government has now decayed to the point where congressmen feel safe openly admitting that they don’t know what they’re voting on suggests a civic breakdown in need of emergency repair.”

Indeed.  The republicans tried to head this off at the pass by requiring the bill be read aloud in its entirety.  Waxman hired a speed-reader.  No, really.  Tee hee, how funny!  Open disregard for their political foes and the American taxpayer all at once!  You Dems are so crazy.
