One more for the day

Last night in the car listening to Lou Dobbs (wife likes to listen to CNN on XM) and was amused by my reactions to three consecutive discussions he had-

1) Was talking about all the waste and non-stimulus spending in the stimulus bill, and completely agreed with him on it.

2) Criticized Obama for supposedly caving into foreign companies, Republicans and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over the "Buy American" provision in the stimulus bill. Completely disagreed with him.

3) Had a report on the SCHIP bill, and the report noted two groups that opposed it- Republicans fearing that it would allow for illegal immigrants to receive medical attention (Democrats had rejected an amendment that would have required identification to receive health care) and a group representing lower income people opposing the $.62 cents increase in cigarette taxes. Of course, I agree with both of those groups.

Weird. Not that I plan to make Lou Dobbs a regular part of my listening habits though.
