I have so much to do, and yet so little time to do it, that I cannot write the full essays that I have been planning on. I have several half written, and another which is fully written, but dated, so I likely won’t print it. Nonetheless, I bring you the important clippings of the day. Satire ensues…
A three judge panel in Minnesota has declared Al Franken the winner of last November’s Senate race in a decision which seems to leave little room for interpretation – or appeal. Coleman continues to argue that the equal protection of over 4,000 voters has been violated, but the court seems to feel otherwise. Coleman can, and likely will, appeal to the State Supreme court within the next ten days, which will lengthen the process even further. It remains possible that the seat could still be vacant in six months, a thought that is no doubt reassuring to the NRSC.
What the NRSC surly doth not find reassuring is the fact that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has raised a total of five million dollars already for his re-election campaign, a campaign where most strategists would consider him vulnerable – that is if the Nevada GOP can actually find someone to run against him. See my list of vulnerable Senators later this week.
A CNN poll release earlier today said that 72% of the public disagree with former Vice President Dick Cheney’s remarks that President Obama’s early foreign policy has made the county less safe. When asked about the public’s reaction, Dick Cheney tersely responded “So?”
After all, how could Cheney think Obama weak on national security after his recent actions to secure American vessels from pirates? Indeed, the President is clearly stronger on this issue than former President Bush ever was. In fact, President Obama has the strongest stand against pirates of any modern President. Compare the number of Pirates the sitting President has ordered executed versus other Presidents:
Point.
Eminem comes out with a new album. Bill O’reilly doesn’t like it. The world continues to spin. Bill-0 was specifically upset with Eminem’s music video, which is heavy on the Sarah Palin side. I’m not embedding to the Eminem video on this page because I’m not particularly wild about his tunes either, but that’s just because I prefer a different brand of music (Dave Matthews is closer to my tastes). But the video makes light of Sarah Palin and her political ambitions in a way that the Fox News anchor finds...displeasing. For your viewing pleasure, here is a list of things that Bill O’Reilly is disgusted by (not every item has a link, but the ones that do sure are fun):
New!: Eminem
Ludacris
Pepsi
David Letterman
Media Matters
Keith Olbermann
Richard Dawkins
Stephen Colbert
Jon Stewart
Anything to do with Comedy Central really.
Obama Staffers
The first, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, and nineteenth amendments.
Democrats
RealJournalists
Reason
Irony
Letting guests answer questions
Being silent for two consecutive minutes
And last, but certainly not least, Teleprompters.
