Howie had just lectured me the previous day on the political partisanship of the Democratic Party. It was a sort of "You started it when you hit me back" thing. There's no question that there's too much partisanship in Washington today. But I'll never be deluded into thinking either that: 1] the Democratic Party is solely responsible for it; 2] the Democratic Party created it; or 3] the Democratic Party fights as dirty as the GOP.Howie: With todays news, perhaps it is Gods will that the Senate remain Republican........
Me: Howie, that is blasphemy.
Howie: OK, Fallon, you made me laugh today.....
Me: Why did that make you laugh? It was a serious comment.
Howie: I assumed you meant the sacred thing that I have gone against would be the Demoncratic Senate......Besides, I was being an optimist....I was looking at the brighter side of an unfortunate event.....
Which brings me to FOX "News." Like Howie, and Republicans everywhere, FOX was ready to "pull the plug" on Sen. Tim Johnson. Bill Frist had already declared him brain dead. And all they could think about was SOMEHOW regaining control of the Senate. Think Progress gives us the play-by-play:
Don't lecture me on partisanship, Howie. This is disgraceful."KILMEADE: Steve, remember we were down this road before? If something happens that Johnson can’t continue, 50-50 with Dick Cheney breaking the tie.
DOOCY: That’s right, and you know, in the state of South Dakota, I understand there is the issue of incapacitation. It’s not spelled out in the state law, at the state level. However, the secretary of state of South Dakota says there would be a precedent at the federal level. Is that how you understand it as well Megan?
FOX ANCHOR: Yeah, indeed, there’s a big laundry list that they would have to go through in order to determine that he is incapacitated. It’s something that, ironically enough, might be weighed in on by his advisers. In other words, Sen. Harry Reid, the incoming majority leader, and Chuck Schumer, may advise him on whether he should declare his incapacity, if in fact he’s in a position where he can declare it or not. And so, we’ll have to see what happens in terms of, you know, what exactly his condition is and who’s going to weigh in on whether it should be declared an incapacitation or whether that’s just clear from the facts."

World progressive people suggest that Dear Leader be installed in the senate to expunge the stench of the bushist kabul that is running amok in the world today. We laud Comrade Fallon for his staunch support of juche based man centered sciences of Korean style socialism and the judicious application of songun politics. Raise high the Red Banner of Songun comrades, victory is at hand.
"Hero" of Mt Paektu--
You're not really a hero, are you? You're probably an orderly or a nurse's aid at Montgomery Hospital in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
You're probably a deluded, twenty-something conservative who thinks he is very clever, but who knows, deep inside himself, that he is not. Not at all.
At any rate, do your supervisors at the hospital know that you are using THEIR computers on THEIR time to engage in your little acts of intellectual masturbation?
I'll bet they would be interested...Perhaps you should come clean and tell them.
