Just some (not so) random thoughts based on recent news events.

In the last day or so we heard Tom Coburn say that Obama is "perilously close" to being impeached.

Obama and Coburn are supposedly friends and trusted colleagues.

Way back when, another Obama friend and trusted colleague, Judd Gregg, was nominated to be Commerce Secretary before withdrawing his name and going after Obama hammer and tong.

What's up with all that?

Would *you* continue to keep friends like these? Particularly Coburn. Really. What the fuck??

Obama said in Time magazine recently that Oklahoma is lucky to have Coburn, who is his good friend and fellow Christian, their wives are also close and have much in common, according to the President.
