Stuff

1. Immigrants in Europe, from Noli Irritare Leones;
2. Brilliant at Breakfast reposts George Carlin on The American Dream;
3. Nicole Belle at Crooks and Liars on President Obama's flexibility (with a Bill Maher video which I haven't watched);
4. Open letter to Democrats from Southern Beale;
5. Palate cleanser:  The Muppets and their history post-Henson.

Oh, and we've got a talking point:  "Where are the jobs?"  Repeat until retreat.  If the only time Faux News can mention jobs is in connection with Obama's birthday, they're not mentioning it enough to get through to their minions.  This is usable.  The answer to any conservative talking point should be "Yes, but where are the jobs?"  Especially if it's not quite relevant.  Or, y'know, Rep. Steve King.
