Today George W. Bush pardons Levi Johnston. The election is over, buddy! You're free to go!

The bad (Two bads today: 1) Bombs kill more than 30 people in Iraq. 2) Bombing not really covered by mainstream media):

The Notorious IT (The Sniper Twins creating a rap song about computers):

As away of marking World AIDS Day, President Bush was presented with the first international Medal of Peace by Saddelback Pastor Rick Warren. According to Pastor Rick Warren "no U.S. president or political leader has done more for global health than this administration, which has raised the bar on America’s role and responsibility for providing critical humanitarian assistance around the world. Over the past eight years, the President and Mrs. Bush have traveled the globe as they and their staffs have worked tirelessly to bring awareness and solutions to pandemics such as HIV/AIDS, and we are privileged to honor their efforts on World AIDS Day.”

Full transcript of this laughable event after the jump:

Shortly after President-elect Barack Obama announced the nomination of Senator Hillary Clinton as the next Secretary of State, former president Bill Clinton released a statement praising the selection:

As an American, I am thankful that President-elect Barack Obama has asked Hillary to be Secretary of State and that she has accepted. As her husband, I am deeply proud.

She is the right person for the job of helping to restore America's image abroad, end the war in Iraq, advance peace and increase our security, by building a future for our children with more partners and fewer adversaries, one of shared responsibilities and opportunities.

She has already earned the respect of foreign leaders and diplomats through her work to promote human rights and the empowerment of women through access to education, healthcare and economic opportunity. And Americans know, from her leadership in the Senate on national security, that she will always put the security, values and the interests of our people first.

In her service to the people of New York and our nation, Hillary has demonstrated the knowledge, passion, resilience, and capacity to learn that our country needs at this critical time. She loves being a Senator from New York, but as she has in all the thirty-seven years I've known her, she answered the call to serve. I commend President-Elect Obama for asking her to be a part of a great national security team. America will be well-served.

Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State will leave her role as senator and move into the secretary of state position. Sen. Clinton was a candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 2008 presidential election. She has served as the junior senator from New York since January 3, 2001. As First Lady of the United States, she played a major role in advocating for the establishment of the Adoption and Safe Families Act, the Foster Care Independence Act, as well as the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.

Robert Gates, Defense Secretary will keep his current role as defense secretary for at least the first year of Obama’s presidency. President Bush swore him in as the 22nd secretary of defense on December 18, 2006. Gates was previously the president of Texas A&M University. From 1991 to 1993, Secretary Gates served as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In 1966, Gates joined the CIA and served for almost 27 years as intelligence professional.
