Portrait to be Unveiled Today in House Ceremony

On Thursday, House leaders will pay tribute to Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), less than a year after the House formally censured the former chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will speak at a ceremony to unveil Rangel’s official portrait as chairman of the storied committee, which the longtime New York Democrat led from 2007 until March 2010, when party leaders pressured him to give up the post amid a growing ethics scandal.

I've been told that my $64,000 check is in the mail.

The Obama Wave

.
There has been a lot of commentary concerning President Obama's Wave picture from the U.N. In it his waving hand covers the face of another dignitary.

Make of it what you will.

Lance asks a a series of interesting questions.

So they publicly release a picture with the President waving his hand in front of that other guy’s face?

Why? Are you telling me they only took one picture? In this day and age? They didn’t have any other versions that don’t make the president look insensitive, clueless, and rude?

On MSNBC?

Well, as usual, I have the answer.

Here's the second best photo taken:

"Ok, who farted?"

"Don't look at me. That sulfur smell is Bush's fault."

Husker Du?
