Happy Monday.

President Obama will travel to Newtown, Connecticut today, where he will stand on the gravestones of dead children to demand that Congress pass a gun law that wouldn't have saved them.

On ABC's This Week, senior White House aide Dan Pfeiffer spouted a lot of obviously canned lines, including the one about "the Romney economic plan." At least these tools aren't still running against President Bush, right?

Sen. John McCain was on CBS' Face the Nation, where he declared that he supports Mayor Bloomberg's right to give unlimited amounts of his own money to a Super PAC that's airing pro-gun control ads in Arizona. You will recall that John McCain blasted the Supreme Court for overturning portion of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law and making it possible to put unlimited money towards political advertising. McCain was also his typical jerk self: "I am sure the television and radio stations in my state are appreciative."

The White House is peddling a lie that persistently high unemployment is a feature of demographic changes as the Baby Boomers retire. Did I say "a lie"? I meant a damned lie so easy to disprove only Democrats could possibly fall for it. In that vein, although things are not what you'd call super-good for anyone, the only age group that's experiencing higher unemployment right now than they did last year is 20-24 year-olds.
