The Ted is dead!!!

attention ladies and gentlemen-
after an intense political race for the alaska senate seat, ted stevens, the worst of the republican senators, has been ousted! with only a 3,500 vote lead and 2000 left to be counted, mark begich has proven that even die hard alaskan conservatives don't like convicted felons. poor old teddy got bitch-slapped by his own voting base.
this is great news for democrats because that is one less republican in office and it puts them one step closer to the legendary 60 seat filibuster proof senate. all we have left is the georgia race on dec. 2 and the minnisota recount. cross your fingers everybody!

As in every election, some church pastor asks parishioners to repent for voting for a pro-life candidate before receiving communion.

Wasn't there some guy selling communion wafers awhile back?

Bush and Cheney Shredding Torture Memos
posted by tiggerporn 11/17/2008 01:48:16 AM EST
With the string of recent victories, Democrats in Congress are feeling their oats and testing the waters with their new powers. With the current love fest going on between Laura Bush and Michelle Obama, amidst all the civility one would be forgiven for forgetting just how nasty things have been the past few years.
Well, just in time, not a moment too late: Pat Leahy, Sheldon Whitehouse, John D. Rockefeller IV and Dianne Feinstein sent a kindly reminder over to House not to forget to hand in any papers they owe before tidying up the place and making scarce.
One can only imagine what the nearly imperial Dick Cheney would muse upon receiving the news.
