TPM Reader JH is feeling arch this morning:

I understand that Gov. Sanford has, on first try, proven unable to quit the federal dole. But it seems to me that practice makes perfect.

Now that Sanford and the Congressional Republicans have determined that government spending has no stimulative effect it is my hope that next time NASA seeks to expand operations in Cape Canaveral, Huntsville, or Houston that the principled senators from Florida, Alabama, and Texas will seek to have such wasteful money redirected to NASA facilities in California where the money can provide no benefit for California.

Next time the Dept. of Energy seeks to expand Oak Ridge National Lab, I trust that Senators Alexander and Corker will insist that their constituents would rather see these funds transferred to Argonne Lab and the fine citizens of Chicago.

And so that Governors Sanford, Jindal and Perry don’t feel left out, next time the DOD considers military base closures they could volunteer to have the military bases in their states closed as socialized jobs are worse than no jobs at all…

As if to feed my Google Earth addiction, Noah Shachtman over at Danger Room links to a 2006 Google Earth image unearthed by the News of Pakistan that shows what looks to Noah’s better-trained eyes like U.S. Predator drones parked at an airfield in Pakistan.

Unveiling the latest GOP makeover plans, RNC’s Michael Steele promises to apply conservative principles to “hip-hop settings.”
