Friday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Day 2 of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Assessment after Day 1: These people are nuts. Scary nuts.

So, the first Obama budget is out. And, is it just me, or do certain members of the media (the well-paid ones who get clothing allowances) seem particularly obsessed with the new taxes on the wealthy. If you caught the briefing yesterday, you know who I mean. To me, the big news is the health care down payment because that affects all of us. But, there are some DC media elites who can't seem to get past the tax increases. You don't suppose that has anything to do with the fact that those folks and their friends are among the wealthy who will have to pay more in taxes? I mean, could the media "superstars" really be that shallow? (Okay, just kidding, I know they are.)

So, what we do we need to know?
