THURSDAY: Hitting the airwaves.

President Obama taped an interview that will air on The View today, in an effort to raise poll numbers by convincing people that he is working to create jobs. The White House figured that the best way to do that would be to address all of the people who are already at home watching TV during the day, and those who are influenceable enough to get their opinions from Whoopi Goldberg. In the past, such an interview would be primetime domain for someone like Barbara Walters, but she apparently goes to bed much earlier these days.

Vice President Biden was on The Today Show this morning and claimed, "I assure you, we are doing significant damage to al-Qaida in Pakistan as well as in Afghanistan." When asked to provide some evidence, Biden proceeded to leak more than 30,000 pages worth of classified documents.
