Well, here’s a trend I hope catches on (oh, and so much for being “undocumented,” eh?): A Framingham man who told police he can’t afford to return to his native Guatemala, turned himself in Saturday on identity theft charges so he could eventually be deported, police said. Carlos F. Boc, 29, told officers he had [...]

Maybe they’ll get their own seat on the U.N.

I didn’t think you could top those schoolchildren substituting Obama for Jesus in their public school praise hymn.

President Obama says it’s a “fabrication” and “distraction” to assert that the Democrats’ health care takeover bills subsidize abortion.

And then, [...]

The AP reports that Sarah Palin’s memoir will be published on Nov. 17. The title is “Going Rogue” — an allusion to the in-fighting between Team Sarah and the McCainiancs that broke out in the last weeks of the campaign. Should be quite a compelling read.

At the White House briefing today, spokesman Robert Gibbs touted the “tangible economic benefits” of the Obamas’ Chicago Crony Olympics bid.
