Mike Gravel: Kicking ass and taking names.\u00c2\u00a0 Prove me wrong that that’s not what he’s doing right now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dennis Kucinich: slid through an Impeachment bill for Cheney that the Democratic party wanted to table, was passed through to Conyers’s judicial committee through Republican snarky votes.<\/p>\n

This, of course, means that the only two candidates for either party currently in Congress running for office that are actually doing anything are Dennis Kucinich and Chris Dodd.\u00c2\u00a0 With that in mind, I wonder if I should even bother mentioning Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain, Joseph Biden… did Tom Tancredo attempt some immigration quarantine bill or something, which would keep him off the list?… Duncan Hunter.<\/p>\n

Okay.\u00c2\u00a0 Fine.\u00c2\u00a0 Hillary Clinton is all the rage.\u00c2\u00a0 Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff, a 19-year-old sophomore at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa — asked Hillary Clinton a question presented to her by her campaign.\u00c2\u00a0 A bit of a tempest in a teapot, but wearily I suggest it’s good enough of a mark against candidate Clinton, as her stagecraft is reminding me of the tedium of the current occupant.<\/p>\n

A John McCain supporter asked McCain<\/a> how we might “Beat that Bitch?” \u00c2\u00a0 Shades of Newt Gingrich’s mother,<\/a> on everyone’s mind I suppose.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Barack Obama has come out in favor of an overhaul of the nation’s patent system<\/a> , opening the system up to public transparency, saying that “Giving the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) the resources to improve patent quality and opening up the patent process to citizen review will reduce the uncertainty and wasteful litigation that is currently a significant drag on innovation.”<\/em><\/p>\n

I do not believe Joseph Biden has commented as of yet.<\/p>\n

A pro-life organization endorsed Fred Thompson, for some reason.<\/p>\n

I think I heard a good word from a random liberal 20 something year old for something Mike Huckabee said on BBC America the other day, but it’s hard to pin-point who she was hearing.<\/p>\n

Mitt Romney’s chances have gone down ever since it was revealed that his first name is “Mitt.”<\/p>\n

John Edwards has snagged the endorsement of Bob Kressig<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0 His presidential campaign should now surge to new heights as this seeps into the American conciousness.<\/p>\n

Rudy Giuliani.\u00c2\u00a0 Bernie Kerick.\u00c2\u00a0 Judith Regan.\u00c2\u00a0 All very interesting.<\/p>\n

The Ron Paulites had created their own coinage, stamped with the image of Ron Paul, and called them “Liberty Dollars”.\u00c2\u00a0 The Fed is apparently not amused<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 All of which should feed the Ron Paulites more grief against the evil Government.<\/p>\n

In an effort to tap the Hisapanic vote, Bill Richardson has unveiled a “Mi Familia Con Bill Richardson<\/a>” fund raiser.\u00c2\u00a0 When asked for comment, Mi familia was unaware of such a thing, opting not to sin Bill Richardson.<\/p>\n

John Cox has dropped out of the race?<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Can I get some clearer confirmation of this shocking news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
