I do not know what is stranger — the fact that Britney is in another relationship? Donald Trump firing of Miss California? Or the fact that Anti Abortion activitists want to purchase the Abortion Clinic that was owned by Dr. Tiller, who was recently killed by Scott Roeder? I am completely baffled by the news of the afternoon. Meanwhile, the Feds are saying the economy is recovering and that the worst of the recession is behind us.

Watch for a Republican meltdown over the next few days regarding “Wall Street Pay Curbs”, which appear to be forthcoming from the Obama Administration. According to the Associated Press’s Jim Kuhnhenn, the Obama Administration plans to cap bonus pay at a third of executives regular salaries. Many firms are striking back by reiterating to the Obama Administration that this would limit the amount of “talent” they could hire and drive employees to foreign financial firms. This should be an issue all over the cable news tonight — but then again — except for Rachel Maddow, who really discusses any important issues anymore? Got a snake on your lap yet Keith?
