I have several complaints to place before you today:
1. It's time for these kooks that say that the President wasn't born in the United States. to STFU. The president has provided his birth certificate (a copy because the original is on file in the State of Hawaii), certified by the appropriate government official in that state, also certified by the Republican governor of that state, and we have seen photocopies of birth announcements from Hawaiian newspapers of the time. Also WorldNetDaily, decidedly the most crackpot of the right wing (ahem) news (read propaganda) outlets have investigated and found nothing to lead them to believe that he wasn't born in the US.
These stupid, xenophobic assh@les simply cannot stand that there is a black president and that they and their corrupt so-called conservative, right-wing, discriminatory (see Jefferson Sessions, R-AL profile in the New Republic) politicians are out of power and that the majority of Americans have had enough of their bullshit. If you'd like to see just how batshit crazy these "birthers" as they have come to be called, have a look what happened at a town hall-style meeting held by Delaware Representative Mike Castle.
2. Republicans in the House and Senate are holding up major legislative initiatives such as health care reform and Defense spending because, in the case of health care they are too stupid and in the pocket of the pharmaceutical and health care mega-corporations to come up with any ideas of their own so their idea is to just delay it until it dies as referenced in an internal RNC memo. And in the case of the Defense bill, the inclusion of the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes act that has been attached to the spending bill. Now I am not a fan of attaching unrelated ammendments to any bill but the anti-gay Republicans in Washington would rather stick hot needles into their eyes than to let the Hate Crimes legislation pass. The Dems figured that the Repugs would have to vote for the Defense bill or they could be subject to the same rhetoric that they through around when the Dems wanted to get some accounting of the profligate spending under Bush, i.e. not supporting the troops, etc.
Update: One of the Dems holding up the health care legislation is Senator Max Baucus, D-Montana, who received over $1.5 million form the health care industry in 2007 and 2008 and hosted lobbyists on golf and fishing fundraising weekends to Montana. According to today's Washington Post:
3. Why is that racist pig Pat Buchannan still allowed on TV? Rachel drilled him a new assh@le last night on her show after Pat said on a previous show that America was built by white folks and that Affirmative Action is discriminatory against white folks. He said that it was 100% white folks who wrote the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, fought in the Revolution, Civil and 2nd World Wars, and that therefore whites should not be discriminated against by Affirmative Action. Now I find Buchanan distasteful for many reasons least of all because of the fact that he was Nixon toady and a dyed in the wool Conservative, but this shit takes the cake. Watch Rachel at work destroying Buchanan's lies.

"To avoid any appearance of favoritism, his aides say, Baucus quietly began refusing contributions from health-care political action committees after June 1. But the policy does not apply to lobbyists or corporate executives, who continued to make donations, disclosure records show. "
