Heh-heh. Heh. Heh-heh-heh.

During a meeting today, while Republicans were telling President Obama that they have some issues with his economic stimulus plan, Obama replied that he'd had these debates with John McCain already, and "I won." Lefty blogs were linking to various stories repeating the "I won" story, but my favorite was the reporting on Politico.com, and I pull this section directly from the article:

“We expressed our concerns about some of the spending that’s being proposed in the House bill,” House Minority Leader John Boehner said after meeting with Obama.

“How can you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives?” Boehner asked. “How does that stimulate the economy?”

Boehner said congressional Republicans are also concerned about the size of the package.

Oh, man. Where to start? Boehner? Contraceptives stimulating the economy? Concerned about the size of Obama's package?

This article is a joke set-up machine! Wait, scratch that. It's making the jokes for us already! Just sit back, tap into your inner 7th grader, and get to giggling, dear B&E readers!

Thanks to tidbits like this and President Obama's references to our "duty" in his inaugural address, I'm looking forward to a little pleasant tittering for a while instead of the if-I-don't-laugh-I'll-kill-myself humor of the last eight years.
