We’re in Day Two of the Budget Number Hostage Crisis at OMB. To the best of our knowledge, at least eleven digits are being held in captivity by the administration, and the list of demands for their release include the passage of health care and cap-and-trade.

Meanwhile, see if you see any strange contradiction in the lede from this report from Reuters:

A key report ordered by U.S. President Barack Obama as part of his effort to close the internationally condemned Guantanamo prison will be delayed six months, but officials insisted on Monday they were still on track to shut it down by January.

It’s July. If it takes another six months, this report will come out in January. Is the plan to shut down Guantanamo Bay, and then issue the report on how to do it?
