JIM TREACHER: This pretty much covers what we know so far about the vehicular assault on my person. “To recap: I was hit by an SUV while crossing a DC street legally, the driver who hit me is a federal agent who failed to identify himself in any way, I’m about to undergo reconstructive surgery to repair the knee injury he admits he caused, and somehow I was issued a jaywalking citation whose particulars in no way match what was seen by multiple eyewitnesses.”

EUROPE REELS amid investor fears. “Markets got a brief break from the selling after the U.S. Labor Department reported that the U.S. unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 9.7%, but investors were ultimately confused by the figures, which also showed that the world’s largest economy continued shedding jobs in January. . . . Behind the anxiety over Europe’s debt problems are recent gyrations in the market for insurance-like contracts called credit-default swaps. On Friday, the cost of insuring against a default by Greece, Portugal and Spain using such contracts shot to record levels before abruptly reversing course ahead of the U.S. data. Prices of these countries’ government bonds – especially bonds maturing in a few years – dropped as banks and other investors continued to scale back their exposure to governments with heavy budget deficits.”

FROM HILLBUZZ, SOME ADVICE TO TEA PARTIERS: Go after DNC donors. “The only way to take down the current DNC, and drive the Liberals out, is to eliminate the DNC’s revenue stream. To do that, pressure must be put on all the major DNC donors to just stop giving to the current Democrats in office, and to the DNC itself.”
