This week we take a look at the Baucus Bill, and see what sort of legislation nine months of compromise produces. Nothing but the best, I'll bet. Also, we examine the pull back of crazy in the wake of Joe "You Lie" Wilson's fussy little tirade. All that, plus a fantastically horrible story about known asshole John Edwards. Oh, and Bill O'reilly actually says something reasonable. I know. I was shocked too.
Representative Mystic Tan back peddles of Socialism. Joe Wilson may have stopped the music in this hate filled round of Musical chairs, and he doesn't want to be left without a seat in congress. (I know. That was bad.)
This week we learn the secret GOP formula for determining the importance of anything, go through the looking glass with Rush Limbaugh, and figure out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop.
Well maybe not that last bit, but we do hear from a complete Right Wing Whack Job and 9-12 rally attendee, who clearly worships at the giant headed alter that is Glen Beck. Jesus I hate that guy.

We are back this week with sad tidings. Ted Kennedy died. I'm sure you know by now. But does that stoop the right from acting like assholes about it? Take a guess. But regardless, we take a moment to remind everyone in what specific ways Ted Kennedy changed the world. We owe him that much. And there are a lot of them.
Also, we do a little news roundup, and hit a few stories that might have flown under your radar. (John Edwards anyone? No? Not one taker? FINE.)
