Posted by Bobby Feingold @senorbobby on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 5:14 PM
>> Today marks the one year anniversary of the Obama administration's $787 billion economic stimulus package. Look at all the jobs it's created! Happy birthday stimulus package! (Fox News)
>> Speaking of the money we have: The Obama administration announced yesterday plans to guarantee a $83 billion loan to build the first nuclear reactors in three decades. This is different from the nuclear reactors in Iran because we say so. (the Atlantic)
>> Americans by a wide margin disapprove of the recent Supreme Court decision to allow unrestrained corporate spending in political campaigns. Republicans still back the unpopular opinion just to oppose Democrats at any cost. (the Washington Post)
>> British clergy are asking people to give up their iPods, rather than chocolate or fast food, for Lent this year. Um I don't think it's in God's plan for these Christians to have to make eye-contact with bums on the tube. (Reuters)
>> And finally: A foot-long surgical instrument was found in a woman's abdomen who was operated on in the Czech Republic five months ago. Freaky. That's why I only go to Mexico for my serious surgical procedures. (Reuters)
