Go home Norm: Three judges soundly rejected Norm Coleman’s attempt to reverse Al Franken’s lead in the U.S. Senate election late Monday, sweeping away the Republican’s claims in a blunt ruling Coleman promised to appeal. Give it up Norm. The court has declared Al Franken the winner. It’s time to put the state before your own ego, Coleman. Sphere: Related Content

Resurrection of Intolerance
The fanatic right-wing, after taking a few days off to catch their breath, is back again with vengeance. Name anything that President Obama is doing, and this broken wing will try to slap it down, unmindful that more than two-thirds of Americans support the President, with his popularity rising each week, according to several independent polls. During the campaign, they attacked Obama for being a Muslim. After all, they figured anyone with a name that wasn’t WASP-sounding must not...
The ‘Buick Guy’ Still Loves McCain
I passed the old clunker again. The first time was the day before the election. The 80s-vintage Buick compact was more primer than paint. The driver’s duds looked bargain basement, not Brooks Brothers. Yet a “McCain-Palin” sticker clung resolutely to the rust bucket’s rear bumper. The sticker is still there. Buick Guy wasn’t exactly dressed to the nines when I saw him the second time. Based on his wheels and his threads, Buick Guy is one of what the...

Meghan McCain Has a Message for the GOP
Meghan McCain has a message for the GOP: “Go Gay.” McCain will be “speaking at the Log Cabin Republicans’ national convention in support of the gay community and its role in the future of the Republican Party,” this week and she thinks it’s time the rest of the party embrace the Lob Cabin’s. Will she succeed in getting the GOP to listen? I’m doubtful at this point, because the Republican party seems to be still stuck in the past and...
Monday Polls: Economy
The latest Gallup Poll finds that most Americans are confident in President Obama ”to do or recommend the right thing for the economy,” and they have a “much higher level of confidence” in Obama than they do in ”Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, or the Democratic or Republican leaders in Congress”: And, a new AP Poll finds that “most people say they plan to use this year’s tax refund to pay bills, deciding in this sour economy...
The First Puppy Arrives for Easter
The identity of the First Puppy leaked yesterday and everyone wanted to know, “Who let the dog out?” The puppy, a “6-month-old Portuguese water dog given to the Obama girls as a gift by that Portuguese water dog-lovin’ senator himself, Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.’ The Obama girls have named their puppy “Bo,” because, “their cousins have a cat named Bo and because first lady Michelle Obama’s father was nicknamed Diddley, a source said. (Get it? Bo . ....
China Boys
we have the luxury of pretending that overpopulation isn't a problem, and can blither and dither our way through endless abortion 'wars' with a large claque arguing that the inherent 'cuteness' of babies demands infinite fecundity: fertility as destiny, one might say.
