It's clearly been a week where everyone is not happy.

Judiciary Committee chair Pat Leahy announces that the Sotomayor confirmation hearings will begin on July 13 -- without conferring with Republicans, who are not happy.

Republicans stage a coup in the New York state Senate -- which has made Democrats not happy.

Creigh Deeds wins big in Virginia -- making Terry McAuliffe and Brian Moran (and maybe even the Republicans) not happy.

And George Bush prepares to jump out of an airplane on his 85th birthday -- making Barbara Bush not happy.

How can we make people happy? By listening to this week's episode of our "It's All Politics" podcast, which you can hear here:
