Did You Know...

• According to a Government Accountability Office, state and federal officials failed to detect $65 million in Medicaid prescription drug fraud, including thousands of prescriptions written for dead patients or by people posing as doctors during 2006 and 2007. Well, come on now, how do we know they didn't die right after they were filled? Oh, you mean to actual dead people? I wonder if it was just in Chicago? There's lots of dead people doing stuff in Chicago.
  
  
• A historic bridge at Bill Clinton’s Presidential Library is slated to get $2.5 million of federal stimulus money. Guess the massage parlor has some shovel ready projects?
  
  
• The Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank with close ties to President Barack Obama, is releasing a report calling on Obama to further break his ‘no tax increase on middle-class families’ pledge. It'll say something, well, it's already broke, so let's get nuts.
  
  
• A former ACORN field director testified in court yesterday about extra payments to Las Vegas canvassers for bringing in 21 new registration cards in a day. Good for him. They couldn't have all been pimps and their girls, right?
  
  
• In 2008, the median household income in the United States plummeted 3.6% from the year before, and the percentage of people living in poverty soared to an 11-year high, according to U.S. Census data. But, that's not Obama's fault. And poverty is such an obscure word. How about "People living in their cars..." that's much more descriptive.
