Well, this is one the best ideas I've heard all day.

The White House and Senate Democratic leaders, seeing little chance of bipartisan support for their health-care overhaul, are considering a strategy shift that would break the legislation into two parts and pass the most expensive provisions solely with Democratic votes.

We here at the GOS could have told the White House and Senate Dems that there was little chance of GOP support for the health care legislation months ago.

This past week, the birthers have been brought front and center by the national media. No doubt, most of you have encountered birthers in the comments section of any online articles that even remotely relate to President Obama or the Obama administration. I call this Birther's Law:

Birther's Law [internets] "When a news story is posted online; the closer that said story is in relation to President Obama or the Obama administration, the probability that someone will insert birther talking points into the comments section of the story approaches one."

The players in the birther game are too numerous to list here, but Kossack aarrgghh has been doing an excellent job chronicling the leaders, players and moves thus far in Birfistani.

I'll try and debunk the birther talking points. It is my opinion that birtherism has nothing to do with whether or not Barack Obama is eligible to hold the office of President of the United States. Every time you de-bunk a birther myth, they simply move the goal posts and spout the next talking point.

Birtherism is 100% about smearing and de-legitimizing Barack Obama and trying to remove him from office by means necessary.

Today, I, COkdub am handing out the Ed Henry Award to Chip Reid from CBS news.

For those of you who don't know about the Ed Henry Award, it was from an awesome comment by That Anonymous Guy in Muzikal203's diary Getting Smacked Down By the POTUS. . . Priceless :

Presented to the reporter who asks the dipshittiest comment at any given Obama press conference.

Major Garrett, Chip Reid and Chuck Todd might've asked some dipshit questions during that presser, but it was Ed Henry who turned public obtuseness into an art.

Now, if any one of them writes a 500-word egotistical article on their public smackdown by the prez, I might then consider 'em in Henry's league.

So, lucky me I get to live amongst the wingnuts and fundies. And boy, so they love them some tea party! About 2,000 people showed up to this shindig which does not surprise me in the least.

The most ironic thing about this tea party is that the event was held in a park owned by the city of Grand Junction. Damn socialist wingnuts!

The Republicans are out in the weeds here in Colorado. Democrats hold the majority in the state legislature, both Senators are Democrats, our governor is a Democrat and five out of seven House members are Dems. Yet, shockingly (not) the GOP still think their words and actions have power. The Colorado Repubs have delegated themselves to being our concern trolls and are basically making themselves look like asshats.

I am ecstatic that my state, Colorado, went blue this past November. What a refreshing change! Unfortunately for me (and my sanity), in November my district was a disgusting shade of red.

Our longtime state representative Democrat Bernie Buescher lost in a close upset to Republican Laura Bradford. Fortunately, Bernie's talents will not go to waste. Governor Ritter selected Buescher to replace outgoing SOS Republican Mike Coffman; who has somehow managed to fail upwards.

Last week, Bristol Palin's soon-to-be mother-in-law Sherry Johnson was arrested on felony drug charges. Given Wasilla's status as the Meth Capital of Alaska it is surprising that Johnson's drug of choice is Hillbilly Heroin. But hey, given the tough economic times, drug dealers have to evolve their business models as well. If Sherry didn't branch out into selling new forms of addictive narcotics in Wasilla, who would?

As if the arrest and subsequent media attention surrounding the case wasn't enough.....................

Yep, you guessed it. As with all things Sarah Palin, there's more.
