Holy filibuster-proof majority, Batman! Sen. Arlen Specter R D-PA has decided to switch parties and run as a Dem! I should think the Hosebags, aka the GOP, are collectively shitting their pants in fury ’round about now. Specter elaborates:
“I have decided to run for re-election in 2010 in the Democratic primary [...] I am ready, [...]

A Storm Is Brewing in Louisiana Senate Race
Politicians are notorious whores for power, and sometimes they pay real whores for sex. In my years on the DC social scene, it has become glaringly obvious that those most stridently vocal about their own moral values are often the worst violators of average standards of public decency.
Like Louisiana Senator David Vitter, who has been [...]

Welcome to Congress, Sen Franken
Sen. Norm Coleman won the Senate race before he lost it, and will refuse the traditional serving of crow croquettes while he mainlines bitterness over the latest news on the Minnesota re-count.
Franken wins by 225 votes!

Reporting by the AP and the New York Times today adds greater weight to the sense that [...]

Begich Overtakes Stevens in Alaska Re-Count
Poor Ted Stevens. He looked poised to add another historic first to this election by becoming the first convicted felon elected to the US Senate. But at this moment it looks like he may have to resign himself with winding down public life as your average run-of-the-mill felonious ex-Congressman.
Stevens led challenger Mark Begich by 3,000 [...]

Dem Congress Contemplating Major Bush Hearings
A general public consensus has grown around the notion that the Bush Administration broke laws, manipulated the Constitution, abused executive privilege, and lied to the American people in order to gain public support for its own misguided policy initiatives.
From ordering the NSA to spy on American citizens, to authorizing torture (and then denying it), Bush [...]
