HURRY, FELLAS, LET'S VOTE, I AM OFF TO ROME!
Rep. John Culberson, TX claims the "stimulus" bill must be urgently voted on today -- because Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leaving at 6:00 PM for an 8 day trip to Europe!
Culberson made the charge on Houston's KSEV radio.
Pelosi is hoping to lead a delegation to Europe; there's a meeting with the Pope and an award from an Italian legislative group.
Calls to Pelosi's spokesman went unreturned.
In the rushing, Democrats have now broken their promise to have the public see the $790 billion bill for 48 hours before any vote.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) predicted that none of his Senate colleagues would 'have the chance' to read the entire final version of the 1,071-page bill before it comes up for a final vote.

Neil Cavuto - - FOX NEWS
He was classy .
Magnanimous.
A gentleman.
Ripped for being out of touch, he chose just the right touch..
A man who critics say only mangled his words.
Conjured just the right ones.
I'm not talking about John McCain yesterday.
I'm talking about President Bush today.
McCain gave a classy speech.
The President made a classy gesture.
Offering only good words for the man who repudiated his run of the White House.
But going one better - - inviting Barack and Michelle Obama to the White House.
To see the place, and talk about the place, and the pressures of the place, in private.
These were not empty words. The President took care months ago to put a transition team in place so that a smooth transfer of power could take place.
President Bush wasn't so lucky when he was coming in.
Maybe things were different then. A lot of ill will then. Lots of hurtful words then.
He wasn't even running this year but it seemed everyone, including his own party's nominee, was running against him all year.
If he minded, he didn't show it.
"Does it all bug you?," I asked.
"Nah," he said, shrugging his shoulders and adding simply "I understand."
A man at peace with a nation seemingly at war.with him. Some for good reason, others apparently lacking reason.
He took nothing personally, always handling himself with dignity.
Not by what he said, but precisely what he did not.
I've read that the President is as kind to the elevator operator at the White House as he is to a visiting head of state to the White House.
I've seen it myself. Every time I've interviewed with him he sticks around and personally shakes the hands of each member of my crew, and then hangs out for pictures.. Lots of pictures.
I know, little things. But to me, big things. That bespeak of a man far bigger than the petty things I see in the press.
Or hear in a harsh campaign year.
That ended today, with a quite gesture today.
From a President who'd be in his right to wag a finger.
But instead, simply offered his hand.
My comment: A truly great man who has been falsely maligned by those who should thank him for protecting them from terrorists for the past seven years. God help this country for the next four years.

Obama bumps head
Bet SNL will pass on this one....
President Barack Obama waves and learns the door on Marine One is much shorter than he is, and bumps his head slightly, Monday, Feb 9, 2009, as he leaves for a trip to Andrews Air Force Base, Md. and then onto Elkhart, Ind. to hold a town hall meeting on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan.

NFL DRAFT 2009
Three Months Before the Draft,‘ but Ohio State OT Alex Boone was arrested after being subdued with a taser during an alleged drunken tirade in California. Boone was taken into custody late Sunday for investigation of resisting arrest after Orange County sheriff's deputies responded to a disturbance call. When they arrived, the 6-8, 312-pound Boone was seen jumping on car hoods, yanking on a tow truck cable and trying to break a window. Boone then fled the scene and ultimately had to be tasered to be subdued. Boone, a first-team Big Ten this year, had been considered to be a potential mid-round pick at the 2009 draft....

Under Obama, `war on terror' catchphrase fading
Deliberately being replaced by a new administration bent on repairing the U.S. image among Muslim nations.
