There is so much is going on right now that I'm not even sure what to focus on anymore. Do you feel that way?

So for today's one thing we go to White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, who said exactly what I've been thinking:

WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY ROBERT GIBBS: Cotton candy down the street. It's a circus.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

Oh how right he is! Except instead of three rings, we've supposed to be looking at nine or ten of them, all at once.

There's defense: Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; Israel and neighbors like Iran at their throats; the War on Terror that apparently no longer exists, don't worry about that, even though Pakistan is about to be taken over by the Taliban and Somalia is being overrun by Muslim insurgents. Meanwhile, Gitmo is being closed, but we have no plan for the prisoners.

Then there's the economy: The unemployment rate is at 8.9 percent and the underemployment rate is 15.8 percent.

And what about the bailouts? It's not like the Obama administration is sitting back. They already fired the CEO of GM and now they've cut Chrysler's ad budget in half. What's next, are we going to have Harry Reid supervising the agents in the Citigroup call center?

Harry isn't qualified to do a real job, Glenn.

The country’s in the very best of hands
The best of hands
The best of hands

You oughtta hear the senate
When their drawing up a bill
Where asses and dimwits are crowded in each conisil (sp.)
Such legal terminology
Would give your heart a thrill
There’s phrases there that no one understands
The country’s in the very best of hands

The building boom, they say
Is getting bigger every day
And when I asked a feller
How could everybody pay
He come up with an answer
That made everything okay
Supplies are getting greater than demands
The country’s in the very best of hands

Don’t you believe them congressmen
And senators are dumb
When they run into problems
That is tough to overcome
They just declare something
They call the moritorium
The upper and the lower house dismans
The country’s in the very best of hands
