Chuck Schumer declares Al Franken the winnerin the Minnesota Senate recount.  Reminds me of the Washington State governors election….just keep counting until you win.

To save money, Gov. Chris Gregoire wants illegal aliens serving time in state prisons deported. It’s about time, their illegal and shouldn’t be here…send them home.

Gov. Richardson withdraws from the Obama cabinet.  Barack Obama picked him on the fast track but now must find a replacement…seems that there might be a federal investigation into how his political donors landed lucrative contracts.  So Obama has taken office yet and we have 2 democrat governors (Blagojevich and Richardson).

5 state governors (New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio and Wisconsin — all Democrats) are seeking 1 trillion in federal assistance.  If a governor cannot manage their budget they should be replaced….same thing that would happen to the CEO of a business.

A federal commission created by Congress to find ways to make up for revenue shortfalls has the answer…a 50% hike int in the federal gas tax.  I hope they didn’t get paid for that brilliant advice.
