Your Website’s Got A Little Bit Of Evil On It
pandagon.net - we are the public option — by Jesse Taylor Executive transitions are a weird creature - they begin the day after victory using work they did while they were still running for the office.

The BitterClingers Strike
Oliver Willis — Oh, look, conservatives are still dumb. Folks like Michelle Malkin and Ed Morissey are hopping mad over the presidential transition website at Change.gov.

Surprise!... Obama's Change.gov As Shady As His Campaign Website!
