  —First Door on the Left

  Number of comments: 3
  

  I really do not quite know what to make of Jewish Hanukkah songs written by Mormon senators from Utah. Maybe you do…

  The story behind the tune is here.

  Senator Orrin G. Hatch, a solemn-faced Republican with a soft spot for Jews and a love of Barbra Streisand, has penned a [...]

• Is The Senate Selling Out? Dropping Public Option.

  —Dungeon Diary

  Carefully parsing his words, Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader said the Senate had reached a "broad agreement". That is double speak for throwing in the towel. Other Senators leaked the details to the press and the "broad agreement" includes dropping the public option on health care in favor of [...]

• This Is What It Has Come To

  —The Local Crank

  Republican Senators are upset because mean, nasty “Leftists” are pointing out the truth:  by opposing Al Franken’s amendment, they voted to protect large defense contractors who condone and cover-up rape.  Fascinating how any Republican attack on a Democrat, no matter how outrageous or false, it’s perfectly okay but pointing out [...]

• Power to the People: The Fair Elections Now Act

  —TexasVox

  Number of comments: 6
  As early as the time of Socrates, people have identified money as a corruptive influence in politics, specifically in democracies.  Elections now cost double and triple what they used to, which means more and more of our Senators’ and Representatives’ time is spent dialing for dollars.  The average member of [...]

• The State of the State

  —Zippidy Doo Da

  
  
  

  "Friends" of Rick Perry are running some rather hard-hitting adds against Princess KB lately, calling her, basically, a communist codling whore.

  I think the reason that ex-Senators rarely get elected to executive offices is because the nature of the senate makes the member learn to [...]

  After hearing Obama was not going to Copenhagen… Guess what!!!!   Politico reports he is going, just days before he accepts his award in Norway.    This is barbarian.   Obama has huge numbers of Americans who do not want this, but yet… he goes.    Watch to make sure and contact your Senators [...]
