Those of you who follow the Bushies' handling and domination of the media know that a pattern has developed whereby this administration dumps negative news on a Friday, and mitigates its impact by either dumping it late in the day, or after another significant story has sucked all of the oxygen out of the news cycle.

Some may argue that the December jobs report has already been the negative story for the day, but expectedly the Bushies have already turned this report, which they have known about since the time of the "stimulus" plan rollout, into a reason to vote for the plan itself.

So now, in the spirit of seeing who amongst us has the best (and most cynical) prognostication skills, I invite you to predict what story will be dumped later today.
