Wow, did you read that whole rant? Good for you! Anyway, here's some news...

Yes, Virginia, there is a difference between the two parties: "House Democrats on Friday pushed through an $80 billion bill to block the spread of a dreaded tax on middle-income people. The White House and Republicans, protesting tax increases in the bill affecting mainly investment fund managers, maintained that it would never become law."

Here's a helluva headline... 'Justice Department returns to enforcing voter laws'

Barack Obama has helpful advice for all the right-wingers accidently (winkwink) referring to him as Osama to help them tell the difference. "I have a lot of trouble growing a beard, and he lives in a cave," he said.

The Democratic candidates were in Iowa this past weekend for another key campaign event. Rolling Stone has video of the speeches given by Obama, Edwards, Clinton, and Richardson.

Al Gore, President? No. Al Gore, green venture capitalist? Yes.

NY Gov. Spitzer may be backing down from his plan to give licenses to illegal immigrants.

Finally, right-wing 'war on Christmas' hysteria arrives earlier and earlier each year. Sigh.
