*sigh* It never ends

South Carolina is one of seven states whose state AGs are probing whether the "Nebraska compromise" is unconstitutional. (The "Nebraska compromise" being what the Republicans are calling the measures to get Nebraska Senator Nelson on board the health care reform bill. Me, I call it a bribe, because that's pretty much what it was.)

Okay... let me see if I have this right... lacking a majority in the Senate, lacking even the numbers to filibuster, the Republicans are now turning to an issue of "Constitutionality" in order to derail the health care reform. Oooookay.

Here's the thing. I don't care whether you like, love, hate, or loathe the health care reform. It's obvious that the Republicans loathe it (at least for the benefit of the cameras)... but doesn't it set an odd little precedent (not the legal version) where this could get flipped on them in later years? "Oh look, a Republican piece of legislation is coming down the pike. And look, a Democratic Senator is calling the measures to get a couple of Republicans behind it... 'unconstitutional'." I mean, fair's fair, right?

And now, the other side - Democrats who are pinheads!

Florida Democratic Representative Alan Grayson gets his shorts in a knot over a blogger. (Yes, I'm linking from FOX News. Get over it.)

Okay, see, he wants this Republican blogger investigated and possibly thrown in jail because... wait for it... the blogger's website URL is "mycongressmanisnuts.com". Is he concerned over a matter of libel? Why no. What then? Why, it's the fact that the world 'my' appears in the URL, and the blogger, Angie Langley, isn't actually one of Grayson's constituents, as Langley doesn't live in Florida's 8th District.



What a shock... he's the Representative for Disney World. The emanations from the magic rat have addled his brain.

Welcome to the Streisand Effect, Mr. Grayson.

.... interesting

A new Karate Kid movie is coming out in the summer of 2010.

Taking on the role of the teacher/mentor is... Jackie Chan.
