South Carolina

Update II: Thank you William Greider: Stop Senator No, Senate Dems should disable the rule that gives Mitch McConnell a virtual veto over anything he wants to kill. Advocating the filibuster defies reason.

Update: Bush is acting now, good for him.

The take-away from last night is: Kill the filibuster.

At this moment when a depression is facing the American people on the heels of two historic elections and Democrats' huge majorities in the House and Senate, are we going to let the antiquated filibuster halt needed legislation next session?

Southern Republican senators [Bush seems to be a non-actor] would throw the country into a depression to lower the wages of workers and break unions.

See John Judis: The Feather-Brained GOP Senators Who Sold Out U.S. Workers. for an explanation of what these idiots did.

Bo Black’s daughter has big breasts.

How do we know? The Journal Sentinel’s Jim Stingl wrote a whole column about her, just so the paper could run her photo with them hanging out.  Bo, who people used to call Milwaukee’s only celebrity, is still trying to maintain the title long-distance from Arizona. Stingl, interviewed on WTMJ-TV news (!) about it, said the story was pitched to him (and a lot of others) via email by Bo herself. Get a life, everybody.

So much for the secret ballot.

A South Carolina Roman Catholic priest has told his parishioners that they should refrain from receiving Holy Communion if they voted for Barack Obama because the Democratic president-elect supports abortion, and supporting him "constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil."

"Hey, do you think Fred skipped Communion because he's committing adultery with his secretary, or because he voted for Obama?"
