Satirical Political Report: Anxiously waiting the ballots from Dixville Notch for the first papal primary. Our Future: Number two Senate Republican John Cornyn (R-TX) changes his mind, now says sequester won’t mean “devastating” defense cuts.” All Hat No Cattle: First John Boehner told Harry Reid, “Go f**k yourself.” Then he told the Senate to “get off their ass.” Now the Speaker of the House says the President of the United States has “balls made out of marshmallows.” Speaking of which, your quote of the day: “Well, there was some disrespect, I would suggest, that was shown to me yesterday by the president.” (John Boehner, December 12, 2010) Guest blogging Mike's Blog Round Up this week is Jon Perr from Perrspectives.
