Does Franken get an extra half-year on his term?

The good governor needs to chuck it all and get down to Argentina to be with his soul mate. Don't try to fall in love with the wife again -- it aint gonna happen. Just go. Walk that Appalachian Trail to his heart's content.

While I might be inclined to forgive an indiscretion, when someone says someone else is his "soul mate" and he's "trying to fall back in love with his wife" -

Don't bother.

Oh yeah! That's the part where I was thinking that if *I were his wife, I'd be saying, "Don't do me any favors!"

Colbert on Franken

I believe that some not so subtle messages have been sent about an upcoming Israeli attack on Iran.

Biden came out this weekend and said that the US cannot dictate to Israel what they do (in direct response to a question about Israel and the Iran nuke program). This might just be Biden being Biden, but combine that with a couple other reports....

The Moussad (sp?) has met with Saudi leaders and have said that the Saudis will do nothing should Israeli F-16s pass through their airspace. Neither the Israelis nor the Saudis have denied those reports.

An Israeli submarine is hanging out in the Persian Gulf.

Could be something is going to happen soon.

Fox host is apparently a fan of Nazi-like eugenics. Nice.

I can almost kind of see what he was probably trying to say (not that it would have been meaningful) but wow. Not only did he say something else but the individual word choices were awful.

I assume he was trying to question whether the fact that Sweden's population is so genetically homogenous (which generally isn't particularly true or relevant) calls into question how broadly the result would apply.

Wow, that's even better than Glenn Beck agreeing that the best thing that could happen for US security is for Bin Laden to launch another successful attack here.
