"Woop-dee-doo!"

"Look Edith. Meathead wants me to sign his petition!"

Actually Norman Lears's People For the American Way does [here] in support of Senator John Kerry's filibuster effort.

What the hell, go sign it.

Update 1/30/06 7:15 PM: Brick. Oh well... Long live the King!

[Senator John Kerry failed] to block the [male] conservative judge's [Sam Alito] nomination...Republican and Democratic senators on a 72-25 vote agreed to end their debate, setting up a Tuesday morning vote on Alito's confirmation to replace retiring moderate [female] Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

Update 1/30/06 7:44 PM: Might as well add some funny from All in the Family:

Archie Bunker: Go ahead, ask your mother, *she* believes in capital punishment.
Gloria Stivic: Do you Ma?
Edith Bunker: Well, sure.
Gloria Stivic: MA?
Edith Bunker: Well, as long as it ain't too severe.

Also, Carroll O'Connor... Sandra Day O'Connor... get it? get it? Norman Lear was the executive producer for All in the Family *and* the founder of People For The American Way. What's that rule? If you have to explain it, it's not funny? bah!
