Molly, Vernon, Pierce, Sean and Chris

Where are we this beautiful Sunday?

Well, Molly is sick of the DC dems, including Hillary.

Pam has found another republican who can't decide who he hates most.

Bush's ratings are so low, he's now got to trot out members of his own family for the media.

Sean Hannity has apparently gone into the dating business! It's "the place where people of like conservative minds can come together to meet" (don't even think about any premarital hanky panky and only hets need apply!), and Jesus' General is getting in on the action (I wonder what Ofjoshua thinks?!?). Shieldvulf and RichnSmooth are already signed up!

And finally, an addendum for those of you who really liked the juggling guy the other day: he's comedian Chris Bliss (check out his non-profit project!).

Dick, Rick, Dole, Iran, Iraq and more!

This has been a pretty busy news week. While the Dick Cheney story finally starts to die down, others (like the port security story) are just starting to pick up steam:

The Republicans are still having major problems with their ethical lapses. Rick Santorum's is just the latest corruption scandal to hit the sleazy House of DeLay.

And speaking of sleaze, does anyone think that it is good for our democracy when a former member of Congress is paid by a foreign government to lobby Congress on their behalf when the lobbyist's own wife is a current Senator?

With so many differences between our nations, how might we find common ground with the people of Iran? Why by hating gay people, of course!

How are things going in Iraq these days? Well, they're FUBAR, and even Bill O'Reilly is starting to talk in terms of cuttin' 'n' runnin'.

But not all the news is bad! The progressive wing of the Democratic party is finally getting busy. They've set up a Progressive Patriots Fund, plus a group of activists from the progressive community have recently launched the Progressive Legislative Action Network (PLAN).

Also, the Tennessee Coalition to Abolish State Killing now has a blog.

And finally, because I'm sure you've all been wanting to know, here are the Five Most Dangerous Children's Books Ever Written, According to Sean Hannity.
