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.

On the contrary.....

DisneyWorld is not technically in Florida. That was part of the deal when Walt bought up the land back at the end of the Florida real estate bust, when land was going ridiculously cheap and the state owned too much of it. So it actually doesn't have congressional representation and all that, and it's taxes are really quite screwy.

Which is fine. Bring more tourists, the last ones were delicious. And paid all the natives' income taxes.

Regardless... you can only hear "It's a Small World After All" so many times before snapping. Which, it appears, Rep. Grayson has.
