My decision maintains this order.'' 10/5/11 7:07pm ET
Palin said that she would love to be president but she just couldn't handle the 2-year commitment.

[Confirmed by PETA today, originally posted on 8/18/11] PETA is launching a porn site that draws attention to the plight of animals. The organization's spokeswoman says PETA officials will ''track the website to determine if people are viewing the animal rights messages and not just the nudity. Past experience has shown that they will.'' 9/21/11 6:41pm ET
PETA plans to launch a new porn site to raise awareness about veganism by mixing images of naked women and animal suffering. The worst part: at least one guy somewhere heard that and went "Finally!"
At Facebook's f8 conference in San Francisco today, CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the next evolution of the service, including an overhaul to the user profile called ''Timeline,'' which he called ''the story of your life.''

A policy banning open homosexuality in the U.S. military has been repealed after nearly two decades. Introduced during the Clinton years, the end of ''don't ask, don't tell'' means service members can now reveal they are gay without fear of investigation or discharge. 9/20/11 1:13pm ET
On Tuesday, the day that "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" officially ended, Marine officials went to gay community centers to recruit to troops. Gay community centers? Oh, gyms. They went to gyms.
In a speech from the Rose Garden today, President Obama called for $1.5 trillion in new tax revenue as part of a proposal to tame the nation's rocketing federal debt, including new taxes on the wealthy, a special new tax for millionaires, and closing loopholes for those making over $250,000 per year. ''This is not class warfare,'' Obama said. ''It's math.'' 9/19/11 3:04pm ET
President Obama defended his new proposed tax rate for millionaires, saying "this not class warfare, it's math." Which is unfortunate, because America is much better at warfare than math.

I think the greatest insult to a speech would be if no one live-blogged it.

President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner slugged it out via memo today over the night the president wants to present his jobs plan to Congress (Wednesday, September 7th). Boehner says the House won't be in session that day until 6:30 p.m., which wouldn't give them enough time to host the president at 8:00. The night also happens to be slated for a nationally televised debate for the eight GOP contenders for president. 8/31/11 7:32pm ET
You know what Obama should do for his jobs speech? Hire a million people to help him write it.

Warren Buffett's Op-Ed today is good reading. Plus I bet he wrote it with the world's nicest pen.
