It’s been a bad Sunshine Week for President Obama.

First, the Associated Press reports that the Obama administration blocked Freedom of Information Act requests at a higher rate than the Bush administration.

And today, the president signed the HIRE Act — which passed the Senate yesterday. So much for Obama’s promise to post bills online for Americans [...]

“Nearly 40% of the new housing created from 1990 to 2005 were illegal apartments. Many of them are in basements or cellars. These units exist because there isn’t enough affordable housing in NYC.” -Seema Agnani, Executive Director, Chhaya Community Development Corporation

The Blog Prof links to Chris Horner’s article at Pajamas Media that details how Barack Obama, George Soros, and wind energy lobbyists colluded to hide the details of two economic studies that showed the wind energy programs in Spain and Denmark didn’t help the economy and create jobs as the president said they did.

At least she has the body to pull it off…

But seriously? Honey, don’t die for your couture.

Her daft garb was so uncomfortable it brought on the early stages of the potentially deadly deep vein thrombosis.

The experienced flight crew told GaGa she’d best get it off quick or risk long-term [...]

A northern Mississippi school district will not be hosting a high school prom this spring after a lesbian student sought to attend with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo.

Only about a third of the homeowners who have successfully completed the trial period of the Obama administration’s mortgage modification program have been offered permanent relief, according to new federal data obtained by the Huffington Post.

FOX Nation and The Corner reported:

You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something [...]
