New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson is out. He won't serve as secretary of Commerce for Barack Obama because of a "pending investigation."

The next industry up to the government trough: the steel industry.

Al Franken will be declared the winner of the Minnesota Senate race today.

Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine will probably be the next chairman of the Democratic Party.

Harry Reid believes that President Bush is the worst president we've ever had.

A federal commission has decided that we need a 50% increase in federal fuel taxes in order to make up for revenue shortfalls.

Is the bailout going to need a bailout? So says a blogger for the Heritage Foundation.

Georgia has a new sex offender law that forces all sex offenders to give their online passwords to the government.

Did you know that America is an empire in decline? So says the Times of London.

Here's a concept, the governor of Washington state wants illegal aliens serving time in state prisons to be deported in order to save her state $9 million over the next 2 years.

When you go to a brothel, there are a few people you would rather not run into. Your wife may be one of them.

He already said that was a way he found out.
No, I said I knew but you could tell by the URL anyways. Either way, it's not worth arguing about. Let's get back to politics.

Well, that would be why I said A way you found out, not THE way you found out. I love it when people say something like "let's not argue" after they make one last post. Not that this was an argument... at least not that I noticed.

Considering the piss-poor job that has been done with the recount can you blame him? Besides, I'm no Coleman fan but the last thing we need is another dumb ass celebrity representing us in any sort of political fashion.

You take that back! Jesse "The Mind" owned as governor.
 
No, I'm not pro-Franken. Just tired of this whole election. As it stands I wouldn't be surprised if our senate seat is empty for the first couple months.

If people would listen to me then things would be perfect for Minnesota.
Ok, so we have a deficit right now? Couple billion or so?
Let Franken and Coleman BOTH get the senate seat.
Get TV crew to follow them around and create funny "odd couple" type theme song.
?????
PROFIT!!!!

I agree with this idea. They can make them do weekly challenges, and whoever wins gets to vote for the next week.

Let's see...

-James Buchanan's presidency was a major cause for the Civil War.
-Andrew Johnson is responsible for allowing Jim Crow to take root in the south. Also first president to get impeached.
-Richard Nixon singlehandedly destroyed most American's faith in their president/government, and was *this* close to getting thrown out of office.

Yup. Definitely nobody worse than Bush. :roll:

Harry Reid must missed that log in his eye. Between him and Pelosi the congress isn't exactly all roses. But thinking has never been Harry "the worm" Reids strong suit.

That was kind of my thought as well... when the other side's worst majority leader in living memory starts saying you're the worst, maybe you did a few things right. Unfortunately, not nearly enough things right, though.

Best Reid moment of late? Leaked conversation between him and Blago from before the scandal broke about how Reid didn't want any of the black candidates Blago was considering to get the seat and instead give it to a white AG (I believe it was an AG). Brilliant guy there. Of course the news is all but ignoring this...

Oh, and I can't believe I forgot this one.. there was a great zinger in our morning show prep today...

Will Smith was announced to be the top grossing movie star of 2008. Wow, between "Hancock" and Barack Obama, this really was the year of the fictional black super hero!

Update on how Al Franken is "winning" this election. Just some of the fun:
Under Minnesota law, election officials are required to make a duplicate ballot if the original is damaged during Election Night counting. Officials are supposed to mark these as "duplicate" and segregate the original ballots. But it appears some officials may have failed to mark ballots as duplicates, which are now being counted in addition to the originals. This helps explain why more than 25 precincts now have more ballots than voters who signed in to vote. By some estimates this double counting has yielded Mr. Franken an additional 80 to 100 votes.

This disenfranchises Minnesotans whose vote counted only once. And one Canvassing Board member, State Supreme Court Justice G. Barry Anderson, has acknowledged that "very likely there was a double counting." Yet the board insists that it lacks the authority to question local officials and it is merely adding the inflated numbers to the totals.
and
Meanwhile, a Ramsey County precinct ended up with 177 more ballots than there were recorded votes on Election Night. In that case, the board decided to go with the extra ballots, rather than the Election Night total, even though the county is now showing more ballots than voters in the precinct. This gave Mr. Franken a net gain of 37 votes, which means he's benefited both ways from the board's inconsistency.
to finish:
Minnesotans like to think that their state isn't like New Jersey or Louisiana, and typically it isn't. But we can't recall a similar recount involving optical scanning machines that has changed so many votes, and in which nearly every crucial decision worked to the advantage of the same candidate. The Coleman campaign clearly misjudged the politics here, and the apparent willingness of a partisan like Mr. Ritchie to help his preferred candidate, Mr. Franken. If the Canvassing Board certifies Mr. Franken as the winner based on the current count, it will be anointing a tainted and undeserving Senator.

The best part of this article is easily the comments on the bottom. I encourage everyone to read it for the sheer entertainment value. I swear, the internet never fails to bring out the worst in people.
we in the what you people call third world, and especially the muslim world, do not regret the passing of this tyrannous nation that had and is still causing the death and miseries of millions of people in the name of its national interest particularly by supporting dictators.

Lol, Melbourne.

Just like he was in the campaign, Obama's using the phrase "Tax Cut" to mean giving money to people who don't actually pay taxes. That's not a tax cut, or a tax credit. That's just plain old "income redistribution."

Ann Coulter has apparently been banned for life from NBC. I'm just kind of surprised this wasn't already the case.

Global sea ice levels are now equal to those recorded 29 years ago. This is according to the University of Illinois's Arctic Climate Research Center. Why only since 1979? Because that was the first year we started recording this data.

Some Democrats are starting to backtrack on their support of the card check bill, realizing that it is, in fact, difficult to defend it. Not to mention just completely asinine. They supported the bill when they knew it would be vetoed ... but now that it might actually become law, their support weakens.

Academics are now warning that terrorist could use tactics like insect swarms to launch biological attacks.

According to Israeli news, more than 70,000 Iranian student volunteers have registered to carry out suicide bombings against Israel because of Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip.

Guess who is looking to expand to the US market? European auto makers that are excited about the prospect of nonunion labor. Who'dathunk we'd turn out to be Europe's India.

This is classic government .. law enforcement in Newark, NJ is enforcing a ban on barbed wire in order to "prevent passers-by or anyone climbing the fence from being injured by the barbed wire." Burglaries went up 17 percent. You gotta be kidding me. Barbed wire serves many purposes ... including warning potential renters or homebuyers that you don't want to live in New Jersey.

Americans are becoming so overweight that the Army has had to devise a waiver program for overweight people to join.

A kiddie pool may have to be drained because it is not manned by a fully qualified lifeguard.

Ever heard of a "double ended male adapter"? Apparently they are "immoral" according to Ace Hardware.

You forgot to include the humdinger of Obama nominating former Clinton Chief of Staff Leon "Fuckin'" Panetta to head up the CIA. Sure, why not? It's not like it's an IMPORTANT job or anything...
Ugh. Yeah. Thanks democrats for voting this genius in. This is great. To quote a wise man who said it best when he said it first:

My only hope is that he does better than the last guy. I don't think that will be hard; but we've been wrong before.

Also, my vote is for McKinley as worst president. Just because he started all sorts of Imperialist shit and then got capped. Mister Rough Rider came rolling down that mountain though to take his place like an absolute motherfucking badass. Just pales in comparison.

Get over it. Republicans had eight years of power, virtually unchallenged most of the time, and it's gone badly. Time for a change. At least give Obama a chance before trashing him.

I've always tried to be a reasoned optimist, and I like it much better than cynicism. Nothing wrong with that.

Oh no, I like the optimism. Not being funny here. I wish I could be as optimistic. I just remember the Clinton years. Sure, the guy did a lot of stupid shit, but unemployment was down, we had a budget surplus, and things were looking up. Of course, that didn't stop people from trying to impeach him for a blowjob, but still.
