friday flotsam and jetsum

Being gone all day most of the news is already fully aired...but some flotsam and jetsum:

Passing Strange: Few conservatives have grown on me more than Charles Krauthammer.
Our president came bearing a basketful of mea culpas. With varying degrees of directness or obliqueness, Obama indicted his own people for arrogance, for dismissiveness and derisiveness, for genocide, for torture, for Hiroshima, for Guantanamo and for insufficient respect for the Muslim world...It is passing strange for a world leader to celebrate his own country's decline.
LIAR LIAR: W.H. lies about the Chicago Slim's groveling.
Not So Fast: Fed Staff Lowers Economic Outlook for 2009-10
Black Agenda Report: ...black Democrats and elected leaders will lose and are already losing their willingness to speak truth to power.
Watch out! Ducky is angry: Ducky, Hamsher, Avarosis want some liberal long green!
NO DEGREE FOR YOU: Chicago Slim will be giving the commencement address at Arizona State but ASU declined to give him an honorary degree because he does not have enough "experience". I could not agree more. Go SunDevils. I would link a post here but the only ones out there are snarky BHO handjobs.
