I don't have to tell you the unemployment news continue to be bleak out there. According to new statistics released last week, the number of so-called "discouraged workers" has more than doubled since this time last year. Of course the really interesting part is the workers aren't nearly as discouraged that they don't have a job as they are that Michael Steele does.

On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart sat down with Ken Blackwell, Vice Chairman of the Republican National Committee's Platform Committee. The interview went long, but you can now see the entire thing right here. Though I should warn you, I watched all 23 minutes and was disappointed to find they didn't talk about Blackwell's infamous worst-dressed list even once.
Parts two and three can be found below.

The DNC and the RNC released new financial disclosure forms last night, and it turns out both party committees spend nearly two-thirds of their money on staff perks, food, booze, luxury getaways and goodies for big donors. The DNC's 14-month tab for catering at the Washington Hilton? $176,000. The RNC's total spent on Dallas Cowboys tickets? $14,937.
Of course, a major political committee also needs basic office supplies…
The RNC's expenditures for "office supplies" in the period through February topped $773,000, according to a Post tally, including jelly beans for Steele's office and thousands of dollars' worth of liquor and wine.
Although not asked to review specific party expenditures, Mindy Kramer, an Office Depot spokeswoman, said that in general, firms with 100 office workers — about the size of the RNC headquarters staff — spend $30,000 to $50,000 a year on supplies.
Sure, but the average firm with 100 office workers doesn't have Michael Steele as a boss.
So I imagine people spend a lot less time binge drinking under their desks.
This new advertisement from the RNC rightly attacks President Obama for his anti-sneezing, anti-breathing agenda. And, you know, it's about time that someone was brave enough to say it…
It's nice to see the Republican Party bucking against the crazier elements of the right wing.
Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie's new fund-raising PAC American Crossroads appears to be about to overtake the RNC as the main money machine for the GOP. So, where does that leave Michael Steele? What happens to the Republican National Committee's first black chairman when everyone else has gone and left him without even the money for a quick lap dance?
A couple years ago, who would have ever thought the RNC would soon be chaired by an out-of-touch, politically inept, black guy with a habit of sticking his foot in his mouth? Fortunately for the GOP though, it looks like Michael Steele's days are numbered and the party can go back to being led by out-of-touch, politically inept, white guys with habits of sticking their feet in their mouths.
