By now, everybody’s heard the earth-shattering news that Evan Bayh has decided to retire from the Senate because of all the partisan rancor. There’s some speculation that he’s thinking of running for President, but I figure it means there’ll be a new sex tape coming out any day now (possibly featuring Bayh in a compromising position with John Edwards). My guess is that Bayh’s a bottom.
A “secret raid” in Pakistan has netted us another “#2” guy – this time the supposed Taliban number two man and top commander, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar (who I thought was rumored to be dead after a drone attack last week). A Taliban spokesman, however, said “no you di-in’t.” So, we shall see.
Oh well, I think I’ll go try and figure out what to give up for Lent. I’ve narrowed the choices down to beer, and work. Unfortunately, I need to work to afford the beer, and I need the beer to make work bearable. Kind of a Sophie’s choice.
Did this around 1987. Well, some of it.
Giving up doing laundry for lint.
During Stephanie Miller’s show this morning, someone had a great idea for a person the Dems can run in Indiana to fill Bayh’s seat. Try THIS on for size:
Sen. John Mellencamp.
Ain’t that America?
Mellencamp’s name has come up in numerous places. Without getting in too deep, I have to believe that one is a non-starter. Nice guy but still a smoker.
I was surprised when Katrina VH brought up the Cougar name on MJoe. Of course, it got the requisite snide with several shots at Al Franken. You never hear anyone say the Al may be one of our most sober, diligent and intelligent members of Congress these days. I think he has acquitted himself well in his less than a year in the Senate.
I’m a republican now. You may have guessed that already.
Iko Iko for Mardi Gras, not the 1st repig preznit I had to endure in my life.
Genius! Putting weird things in coffee!
