Yes, he does. His flavor is both manly and refreshing, like a combination of jalapenos and whipped cream. He’s the flavor of the moment, and everyone wants a taste.

He also has a wonderful, masculine scent, a mingling of tobacco, fine leather and moth balls, with just a hint of whisky. Men swoon and women gasp when they catch a whiff of his musky fragrance. Whole packs of male reporters follow him everywhere, so entrancing is his odor to members of his own sex. (He’s even had to hire Blackwater to keep Chris Matthews at bay.) Trips to the bathroom can be an adventure, to say the least.

CNN just reported that Dennis Kucinich's brother Perry Kucinich has been found dead at his Cleveland home. According to wire service reports, his body was found by another brother. An autopsy is being performed to determine the cause of death.

According to a new Rasmussen poll, Stephen Colbert would get an astonishing 13% of the vote in a three-way race with Hillary Clinton and Rudolph Giuliani. Surprisingly, he polls about the same as a hypothetical independent run by the moribund Fred Thompson.

In a disgusting yet sadly unsurprising piece, Philadelphia Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky came right out and expressed the ultimate right-winger’s wish: another large-scale terrorist attack with mass casualties on American soil. In To Save America, We Need Another 9/11, Bykofsky bemoans the lack of political unity and support for the Iraq war.

Bykofsky desperately wants al qaeda to kill thousands of Americans, just so Bush and the repugs can get a temporary boost in their war on terra.

Jump over to the dark side with me, if you can stomach it.

Emancipation Proclamation, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments Ruled Unconstitutional; Ruling Returns Former Slaves to Descendants of Slave Owners

Today, in a ruling that legal observers called "stunning," "unprecedented," and "bat-shit insane," the Supreme Court declared that the Emancipation Proclamation and Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments are unconstitutional and that the infamous Dred Scott ruling still has the force of law. In Thurmond v Sharpton, the Court said that subsequent amendments to the Constitution and presidential proclamations abolishing slavery are invalid because they constitute unconstitutional infringements of state rights and the property rights of slave owners.

Ben Cardin's senate campaign is running a version of the powerful Michael J. Fox ad on stem cell research, according to today's Washington Post. The ad, which can be viewed on Cardin's website, features a script which is very similar to the Claire McCaskill spot released last week.

Say it with me, people: Bush and his GOPer cronies are BABYKILLERS. That is a word that they have spent countless years hurling at liberals without cause, but now, with their actions in New Orleans, they've shown that they deserve to have it thrown right back in their murderous faces.
