Early Morning Swim
Firedoglake — ... Economic Recovery bill in conference. I'm sure they'll just send the money back.  Because the Economic Recovery Act is treason! Looking to the vultures to solve the banking crisis. Robert Scheer is unhappy. Based on Tim's performance, I'd have to agree. Not good news. The shady deal behind the Alaska AG resignation.  This proves that he was a partisan all along. Go Stormy! Hilarious.
