If you’ve been waiting for a higher authority to tell you what to think about healthcare reform, you’re in luck. This week, the esteemed Republican token Governor of Louisiana, Booby Jindal, will be penning a series of op-ed in Politico and the WSJ, and of course hitting the cable “news” shows. This is, no doubt, the most anticipated expert opinion since Sarah Palin’s energy op-ed, where she slammed Obama’s “cap and tax” position (which she was for, before she was against). I, for one, hope these brave Republicans and DINOs can save us all from the horrors of healthcare reform.

Of course, the President is fighting back, inviting godless bloggers to help push his message to the unwashed masses. Sadly, he hasn’t reached out to me, despite my being godless, unwashed, and commanding an audience of sometimes several people in a single day. Clearly, he’s uncomfortable with the fact that I don’t toe the line on some of his other policies, and probably that I think “reform” without doing away with for-profit insurance is crap.

Is there any chance we can have Jimmy Carter back?

Ever wanted to own a hotel with a little bit of history? Well, today’s your lucky day, as the Watergate hits the auction block, having defaulted on something like $40 million in loans. The hotel, as you are probably aware, is most famous for being featured in the 1999 movie “Dick” starring (among others) Kirsten Dunst, Terri Garr, Dan Hedaya (the guy who played Carla’s ex-husband in Cheers) as the title character, and Will Ferrell as Bob Woodward.

Today’s “Two for Tuesday” Woot is actually a “Six for Tuesday” collection of Star Wars bobbleheads. For $30, you can line them up on top of your teevee, and pretend it’s Sunday every day (and probably get more intelligent conversation, too).

If you get bored, play around with the Nukeometer today. Put in your city and country, and it’ll tell you how many nukes are in range of you. Here, there are 6,404 that can be delivered by long range ICBMs, bomber aircraft, and nuclear submarines, from the US, UK, China, Russia, and France.

Funny, I don’t see Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, or North Korea in that list. Why am I supposed to hate and/or be afraid of them again?

Have a good’un.
