Lots of interesting things going on right now:
- The Senate Arms Services Committee is conducting hearings to debate the 17 year old ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy banning openly gay Americans from serving in the military.
- The President rolled out his fiscal year 2011 budget yesterday – now the debate begins on it.
- The first primary for the 2010 election cycle is TODAY in Illinois (live in Illinois? GO VOTE!)
- President Obama sat down for an interview with You Tube’s Steve Grove to answer your questions submitted after last week’s State of the Union address.
- Oscar nominations were announced this morning. Will the blue people of Pandora sweep?
- And it’s Groundhog Day! Six more weeks of winter it looks like.

The President rolled out his fiscal year 2011 budget yesterday – now the debate begins on it.
Moody’s Investors Service fired off a warning on Wednesday that the triple A sovereign credit rating of the US would come under pressure unless economic growth was more robust than expected or tougher actions were taken to tackle the country’s budget deficit.
The White House forecast a $1.565 Trillion budget deficit for 2010, which represents 10.6 per cent of gross domestic product and is the highest such ratio of debt to GDP since the second world war.
