Evan Bayh Retiring From Senate to Spend More Time Starting Deficit Commissions with His Family [Retirements]

Democratic deficit hawk who never met a tax cut or agricultural subsidy he didn't love Evan Bayh is retiring from the Senate. Because of partisanship! Oh, partisanship. God bless you.

Bayh represents the "moderate" wing of the Democratic party that has been the primary source of the endless deal-cutting, delay, and obstruction in the Senate. "Moderate" Democrats don't hate poor people, they just love rich people, corporations, and war more. Naturally, as one of the primary causes of Senate inaction, Bayh is just plain tired of the Senate not being able to get anything done.

Bayh, son of legendary Senator Birch Bayh, has never lost an election in Indiana. And he probably wasn't going to lose this one, either. Bayh's statement blames political inaction and Terrible Partisanship, but no one actually knows why he's retiring. Maybe he literally got in bed with Big Agribusiness, and there are filthy Polaroids, or something.

Or maybe even the vague threat of a Mike Pence or someone challenging him was enough to send him into early retirement and a lucrative career as some sort of horrible hack working for some terrible company that does evil things. Like, he could join his wife in working for health insurance giant WellPoint! (Or if he wants to switch it up a bit, why not Eli Lilly?)

We'll miss you, Evan! The Senate just won't be the same without you, except that we do still have both Nelsons, Blanche Lincoln, Joe Lieberman, etc. etc..

Anyway now we are pretty sure the Republicans will retake the Senate, so, sorry if you didn't want the nation to not literally grind to a complete standstill for six years or so.

Over A Year After Android Launch, ShopSavvy Finally Comes To The iPhone

ShopSavvy was one of the best early Android applications. It launched in October of last year after winning one of the initial Android Developer Challenge top prizes (when it was still known as GoCart). But despite the success it has seen on Android, one question remained: When would it be available for the iPhone. Today, it finally is. Developed by the guys at Big In Japan , ShopSavvy is an app that allows you to use your device as a portable barcode scanner. You point your phone's camera at any barcode and it will read it, do a product look up, and give you information about the product, as well as where you can find it online or at nearby stores and for how much. Obviously, something like this is a window shopper's dream. ShopSavvy was one of the best early Android applications.
