The cabinet invoked the 25th Amendment (again) and the Vice President is taking the oath of office where he swears to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.... and that was all.

No "so help me god."

4. Yes, and with "House"

and with guilty pleasure "the O.C.," this season I have been watching more programs on Fox than on the other networks.

And now that both The West Wing and American Dreams are done for this year, the West Wing replaced by a religious program, NBC will have no presence in our house.

2. Drudge Invents Story for DeLay

The www.drudgereport.com Drudge Report (a popular website run by right-wing activist Matt Drudge) has posted an image of an offensive t-shirt, along with a headline “Liberals Sell ‘DeLay Suicide T-shirt.’” It’s clearly a vicious, organized effort to demonize Tom DeLay.


Or not

The “liberals” selling the shirt are actually…just one random guy named Christopher Goodwin. Christopher runs “http://www.cafepress.com/goodwinart">Ye Olde Christopher Goodwin Art Shoppe,”</a> an online store
(hosted for free by CafePress.com) where he sells drink coasters, tote bags, and throw pillows emblazoned mostly with images of his own “abstract and representational art"; only two of his featured items are political in nature, the DeLay shirt and a set of shirts that say “Bush Is Vile". Christopher’s http://www.cafepress.com/cp/about_me.aspx?s=goodwinart"> profile</a> explains that he lives in Washington and “enjoys attending Small Claims Court hearings, interrogating his cats, and taking brisk walks on the roof.” According to Alexa.com, Christopher Goodwin’s website is the 2,071,537th most visited site on the Internet; to put that in perspective (and to make clear Goodwin’s profound obscurity) consider that the homepage for Chicken of the Sea tuna is ranked 163,081.

In other words, Drudge made a concerted attempt to find absolutely anything to take the heat off Tom DeLay’s various corruption charges, and the very best he could come up with was a stupid t-shirt from “Ye Olde Christopher Goodwin Art Shoppe.” Lame. http://www.globalnewsmatrix.com
