  • Instead of going through the Catholic/Protestant wars again -- they're like the Mac/PC arguments, only with torture and murder -- let's talk about the politics of sainthood: during Benedict's conservative upsurge, only the more conservative popes are being considered for "sainthood." No talk of John …

• Al Franken Slams Joe Lieberman On Senate Floor

  Thu Dec 17, 2009
  • On one level, this is nothing but Franken taking his turn at the gavel, and the leadership left him with important instructions: be strict with the time limits, because the Republicans are delaying as much as possible so the bill won't be passed before the break, so they can have another Tea Bag …

  • Is he factually correct, as many believe? He offered two motions to do something or other about illegals. What? Give 'em a citizenship test as they wheel them into Emergency? And only if they pass do they get a doctor for their ruptured spleen? I thought Republicans were against bureaucracy.
