Look who got the gig protecting the antiwar candidate…
This past week in Iraq and Afghanistan, Blackwater employees protected Barack Obama.

One of the biggest pork barrel politicians in the Senate, Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, has been indicted by the Justice Department.

Some may point to the beginning of the end of the The King of Pork’s reign the day Oklahoma U.S. Senator Tom Coburn took on Steven’s infamous “bridge to nowhere”on the floor of the Senate in nearly three years ago. Though Coburn lost that day, his reputation as a watchdog against wasteful spending was significantly enhanced, and this week’s events prove the Muskogee Senator is a major budget player in the Congress regardless of his maverick label.

Breitbart tells it.

As we suspected, Coburn garnered support of omnibus on Monday.  The question remains, will this force Democrats to face the drilling issue?

After that witch called them out, the lovers that were Barack and MSM had to be more careful. People were watching, and the couple pretended not to notice each other. They knew they had gone too far in public. Carefully, skillfully, they pretended not to notice, at least for the moment.But then suddenly, ding dong, the witch was dead!

The passion exploded and Barack and MSM rushed to each others’ arms, and their red, hot love gushed forth for the whole world to see. MSM said to Barry, “Je t’aime!” Barry replied, “Moi aussi, Je t’aime!”

Sacrebleu!

La Fin.

*Editor’s note: In case your name is Harry Coates, MSM stands for the languid, lovesick mainstrean media.

Since our name is the Oklahoma Political News Service, we try to keep our focus on Oklahoma politics and her politicians. But since it’s Friday and the day before St. Paddy’s day, we decided to deviate from our norm a little and post a piece on national politics – specifically the Iraq war and the Democrats’ continually changing timeline for withdrawal.

When we say continually changing, we literally mean continually changing! Click here (click on screen to start video) to view Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. David Obey trying to explain the timeline the Dems have devised for troop withdrawal. It seems they don’t even know their own plan! Enjoy.
