    Nancy Pelosi has a very irritating laugh. I wish I didn't know these things, but CNN is on way too much here.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    Flake is another one, yes.

    One of that new faces in the Republican party-you'll be hearing more from him.

    I don't watch 60 Minutes very often....did you hear Ed Bradley had died?

    I was a bit non-plussed at the news.

    Wow I can't believe you don't watch 60 Minutes (very often)!

    60 Minutes gets stories that I don't normally hear about or rather, they delve and get the meat of a story and get interviews that no one else comes close too.

    60 Minutes hasn't done anything of note for years.

    They have gone from being the oldest and best to merely the oldest.

    In a situation such as this surely your whole system of Government becomes pointless.

    Congress just won't led POTUS do anything and vice versa. You will have a Government in perpetual conflict. Or does it not work like that in real life. Do they manage to reach working compromises.

    Sometimes there is no hope those elected will produce results


    Dead Ringer: Deceased Candidate Wins Election With Voters in Dark

    By E&P Staff

    Published: November 10, 2006 10:15 AM ET updated 1:30 PM

    NEW YORK Things were so bad for Republicans this week in the midterm elections they couldn't even beat a dead man in North Carolina.

    A candidate for a county board there, who was still appearing in newspaper ads the weekend before the Nov. 7 election, earned an easy victory, gaining 12,000 votes — despite being dead for a month.

    Union County elections officials knew about his death for weeks, but did not inform voters, even though the newspaper ads and endorsements continued.

    "We are instructed that it's not our job to do that," said Shirley Secrest, elections director.

    The late Sam Duncan was the top vote-getter Tuesday for two seats as supervisor on Union County's Soil and Water Conservation board. He was running for re-election as his four-year term expired.

    The Democratic Party distributed literature and sample ballots backing Duncan near the polls on election day. Democratic Party officials said they didn't know Duncan had died when they placed the ads and printed the literature, but did not know later.

    Former sheriff Frank McGuirt said he had helped Duncan gain enough votes to knock out a board chairman who had served for many years. "I was shocked to know that poor Sam was gone," McGuirt told the Charlotte Observer. "I guess I had just missed that obituary." A check by E&P for such an obituary also came up empty, at least on a quick search.

    An appointment will now fill Duncan's seat.

    Meanwhile, in Texas, a Republican, Rep. Glenda Dawson, was re-elected
    despite her death in September. In this case, her passing was no secret, but her campaign was criticized for sending out campaign mailers just before the election touting her record -- but not mentioning that she had died.
    source

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
