Politics, U.S.: Republican strategist: Off with Timothy Geithner’s head!

  • Geithner’s only constituent is President Obama. Mr. Obama selected Mr. Geithner because his appointment was expected to calm Wall Street. But what good does it do the president to gain Wall Street and lose the rest of America?
  • John Feehery • A Republican strategist who wrote an entire article trashing on Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. In the wake of the AIG bonus scandal on top of his apparent incompetency, Feehery and other Republicans – and heck, some Democrats – are calling for his resignation already. Obama hasn’t even made it through his first 100 days yet! • source

Culture: Implying sex is enough to get libraries to ban the “Twilight” series

  • Torn feathered pillows, bruises and a sore jaw. That’s all. The “Twilight” books, which are actually pretty conservative in their handling of sexual tension, are generally considered teen-friendly books. But in Utah, one parent complained to the local library about a passage in “Breaking Dawn” where it was implied that the main characters had sex while married. That was enough to get it banned. Ironic part: Author Stephenie Meyer’s a devout Mormon. And the books promote chastity. source
