It is an understatement to say that I am fully aboard with Mike on this one . Three Navy SEAL s have the audacity to punch a terrorist responsible for the murder and mutilation of four Americans in Fallujah? I thought audacity was in these days.

Tom Coburn (R-Ok) may request , as is his right under Senate Rules, that the entire 2,027 page Harry Reid health care restructuring bill be read out loud on the floor of the Senate prior to debate: A little quick math shows that at a minute a page -- an easily achieved pace since the pages are double spaced and in a rather large type face -- it would take 34.5 hours to read straight through the measure...

Christian Vanneste distinguishes himself yet again--for ses conneries. To be sure, compared with the fire-and-brimstone homophobia that we know so well in America, Vanneste's blundering quest to develop a rational basis for his prejudices--a sort of anti-gay categorical imperative--has about it a wistful, quixotic charm.
