.!.President Obama is asking the Cabinet to cut $100 million over the next 90 days. RealClearPolitics has a video of reporters taking the administration to task for hailing the $100 million dollar cut as significant after dismissing criticism of an $8 billion appropriations bill several weeks ago.

Welcome to the fold, Delegate. Now about that smoking ban…
Alan Wexelblat at Copyfight says the RIAA has taken over the Obama DOJ but Ben Sheffner says it’s much ado over nothing. CNET has more here.

In an attempt to respond to a McCain surrogate saying NOVA is not the “real Virginia”, Daily Kos gives us this:
What’s worse are some of the ignorant comments left on Raising Kaine, but I’ll leave those be for now.
The map is inaccurate. When talking about “real Virginia” and “fake Virginia” the split isn’t so far [...]

A new organization on the Left is aiming to harass top Republican donors in an attempt to subdue their right to free speech as private citizens:
Nearly 10,000 of the biggest donors to Republican candidates and causes across the country will probably receive a foreboding “warning” letter in the mail next week.
