Obama fires AmeriCorps inspector general

Gerald Walpin was given an ultimatum to resign or be fired as the AmeriCorp I.G., tasked to ensure organizations receiving federal grants aren't misusing the funds. It appears that Walpin is let go because of his investigation into St. Hope, founded by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and a top Obama supporter.

Walpin was doing his job, but somebody in the W.H. isn't happy about him digging into Johnson's papers. Definitely dirty politics in play. Welcome to Washington, Chicago style...

Island paradises are the new Gitmo

An obscure Pacific island nation, Palau, and popular tourist destination, Bermuda, are now receiving former Gitmo detainees. Residents of Palau aren't too happy about it, and neither is Downing Street as Britain provides for Bermuda's defense and foreign affairs and wasn't consulted about the detainee transfer.

Why would Palau and Bermuda accept unwanted terror suspects from Gitmo? For Palau to welcome the Uighurs into their land, the U.S. has pledged $200 million in aid to the country. That's $200 million taxpayer dollars to send unwanted terror suspects to an island paradise in the Pacific.

One question remains: Does the tour package include cocktail beverages with tiny umbrellas in them?

Democrats rain on climate change bill

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) won't be happy about this: her climate change bill is meeting resistance from her own party, with House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson (D-MN) leading the charge. Apparently there's some internal party conflict brewing between Peterson's camp and that of House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA).
