Perpetuated Octets

• Chuck Norris hates the gays. Chuck says, "Gays are evil. Gays are bad. Gays disgust me and make me sad." Chuck Norris kicks gay ass. Methinks he doth protest too much. Newt Gingrich, now a Republican cheerleader, also has the rainbow fright.
  
• The recount in Minnesota has reduced Republican Senator Norm Coleman's lead over Al Franken to 174 ballots,with only 18% of the votes being counted. This is on ballots that both sides have agreed are acceptable. Photos guaranteed to make your head ache here.
• Two U.S. soldiers were killed by friendly fire, according to guys who were there, and now Uncle Sam is covering it up. The same day those revelations came out the military was shredding documents. Enemy action was listed as the cause of death, but there's also video evidence disputing that assertion.
• Rep. Dingell, chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, was ousted from the position by Rep. Henry Waxman. Dingell has been a roadblock on environmental issues for many long years, and had been the head of the committee since 1981. The ousting comes at a great time, with Obama's climate change agenda soon to come into play. Waxman is the awesome guy who helped focus Democrats on a more aggressive stance toward the Bush Administration.
  
• Convicted felon Ted Stevens got a standing ovation when he left the Senate today, hopefully forever and ever. Next on the Senate agenda: become human beings again, instead of pretending to be gods because some people voted for them.
• David Sirota, who has had good things to say in the past, today comes across as a sissified prima donna bitch. It's okay to criticize Obama, and it's quite another to have a martyr complex when people don't like your criticism. It's male PMS at its worst. Take the midol. That's what it's for. Also, there's no way that diary was snark. I should know.
• Do you have a blog? Would you like to test a program designed to examine the language and decide if you are male or female? If so, you know what to do. It got mine right, but mine is pretty simple. Crush, kill, destroy.
• Tom Cole quit as head of the NRCC. Any would be replacements may approach the position cautiously as Tom Cole was seen streeking through the streets screaming, "Run for your lives!" Democrats give each other big high fives, and then go back to blissfully enjoying having taken charge of this sinking ship called the States.
• Bush fiddled (with endangered species) while America burned. F-to-the-U-to-the- you know what, fuck Bush. 61 days until he gets out of our lives.
